Description: The hilarious, skewed, rueful misadventures of a forty-something, in-recovery-from-everything bad girl/good girl in her search for love, sex, and sanity. After losing herself in an endless series of attachments, this serial mater comes to see how her relationships with men are emblematic of all her relationships--with alcohol, food, drugs, family, friends, and most of all, herself. With honesty, humor, and style, Wendy explores the contradictions and imperfections of being a woman, in a book about relationships, addiction, self-esteem (and the lack thereof), and going to any lengths to discover what matters. She gives the reader a good laugh, an easy read, and hope.--From publisher description.
