About the book
Rachel Resnick hits her forties single, broke, depressed, childless--a train wreck. After an ex-boyfriend breaks into her home and vandalizes it, she looks back over her romantic and sexual history and asks: What is wrong with me? Her addiction to sex and love has cost her in damaging ways throughout the course of her life. Written with raw humor and unflinching honesty, this book charts Resnick's harrowing emotional journey from destructive love to intimacy, from despair to hope. By peeling back one painful layer after another, she discovers a glaring pattern: she is addicted to the fantasy of romantic bliss, marriage, and children. Although her story is extreme, many people experience aspects of this addiction and the self-destruction that comes with it--all fed by a culture where romantic obsession is stoked by the stories we read, the movies we see, and the dreams we're fed.--From publisher description.
