Ex and the City

Más información sobre el libro

An honest and achingly funny account of the horrors of being dumped, this memoir finds comedy in love's most painful moments. We've all experienced it: one moment you're in a loving relationship or on a promising date, and the next, you're facing rejection, choking back tears on your way home. Alexandra Heminsley has been dumped in various locations—restaurants, stairwells, and even graveyards—each instance bringing the same excruciating pain. In this intimate and witty narrative, she shares her journey from helpless dejection to rebound flings and failed relationships, ultimately leading her to recovery. Along the way, she offers insights on the effects of heartbreak on hormones and decodes the meaning behind phrases like "It's not you, it's me." She also humorously advises on hair choices post-breakup and highlights the healing power of music, warning against getting stuck in the Mary J. Blige Contemplative Stage or attempting the Eurythmics' "Thorn in My Side" too soon. Most importantly, Alexandra reveals that being dumped should not be a source of shame but rather a badge of honor, as taking risks in love is essential for finding true connection.
