review 1: Rachel has a real problem: she’s always falling for the worst kind of men. She knows she’s disturbed. She knows she needs help. But falling in love feels so good. How can it be bad? This is a tale of addiction like no other. After all, how can falling in love be compared to shooting heroin? Yet this is undoubtedly an addict’s tale – harrowing, shocking and laughable at times and yet no less compelling for all of its wayward humor. Even as we wince at reading Rachel’s involvement with drug addicts, child molesters and ex-convicts, we applaud her spirit as she dusts herself off again and again and learns that, perhaps, life isn’t about embracing the right partner but embracing who you are instead.
review 2: got this book not knowing what to expect, t... morehought it would be full of phsycobable, but i found it very moving and raw in the way in which she is so honest about herself and her desire to be loved.How could anyone not be damaged by that upbringing.I hope that the writing of the book was cathartic and that the authors life is now full and rewarding and that she has now exorcised the demons of her earlier life. By the end of the book it now seems she has found the stable loving relationship she was craving all her life.Very interesting reading. less
