Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What Was I Thinking? is a collection of first-person essays describing the moment in a relationship when, no matter how much you think it should work, or want it to work, or need it to work, you get that its not going to work. Maybe you overheard the wrong thing due to the physics-defying acoustics in the ladies room you ducked into during a dinner date (as in Amy Wrubles “Junk in the Trunk”). Maybe you realized that its just impossible to be with a guy who orders a “creche” of wine instead of a carafe of wine, because “Hey, Baby. I'm a writer. I play with words.” (as in Lynn Snowden Pickets “Norm Crosby Syndrome”). Or maybe it was as obvious as having your boyfriend say that he thinks of other women during sex with you (as in Rhonda Talbots “Revenge Baby”). Whatever the details of that head-slapping moment, these epiphanies make great storieswhether frantically texted, recounted over lattes, or savored in What Was I Thinking? Included in this collection are more than fifty classic bad boyfriend stories, from writers including: Carrie Fisher Claudia Handler Bonnie Bruckheimer Maira Kalman Cindy Chupack Rachel Resnick Mimi Pond Francesca Lia Block Nicole Hollander VideoAbout the AuthorBARBARA DAVILMAN began her career in NY in advertising and then went on to create a greeting card company, Bittersweet, that dealt exclusively with relationships gone bad.
