Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

“A tell-all, in-your-face, tearing-off-of-the-sheets.”—Los Angeles Times

Rachel Resnick hits her forties single, broke, depressed, and childless. Looking back over years of failed relationships, she identifies a lifelong addiction to love—an addiction to the unfulfilled fantasy of romantic bliss, marriage, and family, and to a string of sexual relationships that only carry her farther from that dream. As she peels back one raw layer after another, she must eventually confront the painful experiences of her childhood—and the difficult work of recovery that lies ahead.

A groundbreaking, compulsively readable memoir, Love Junkie charts Resnicks path from destructive love to intimacy, from despair to hope, and cracks open one of our more elusive and pervasive modern-day addictions.
