Love Junkie
Autor Rachel Resnick Spus de Lauren Weedmanen Limba Engleză CD-Audio
"Love Junkie" is the story of Rachel Resnick's dangerous addiction to sex and love. It's an addiction that has cost her in horrible ways throughout the course of her life from the time she rear-ended a family van on the freeway because she was obsessively speed-dialing her lover's phone, to when she blew the deadline on her first major newspaper assignment. "Love Junkie" charts Rachel Resnick's harrowing emotional journey from addiction to intimacy, from despair to hope, and the men the worst kind of men who accompanied her on it. It is a groundbreaking and compulsively readable memoir that cracks open one of the more elusive and pervasive addictions of our time. Written with raw humor and unflinching honesty, it is the story of coming to terms with your past in order to be able to map out a different kind of future."

Descriere
'A memoir of flesh and redemption, told with scorching intensity and clear-eyed, universal truth' Jerry Stahl, author of I, Fatty
'Raw memoir of sex and romance and addiction ... To describe this book as soul-baring is to undersell its bloodied candour' Observer
Rachel Resnick is a self-confessed Love Junkie. Her life has consisted of a continuous stream of men, all of whom have treated her badly, and yet she chose them and has convinced herself that she cannot live without them. Obsessive and possessive, she allows herself to be humiliated and degraded in her pursuit of love.
Finding herself single, broke, depressed and childless, Rachel is determined to break the cycle. But to do this, she has to face the troubled past that she has been trying desperately to escape. Looking back on her damaged childhood and lifelong pattern of ruinous relationships, Love Junkie describes Rachel's harrowing emotional journey from addiction and despair to intimacy and hope, which gives her the chance to come to terms with her past and find a way to heal her damaged life.
