Loved this book. It reads like a novel but you hold your breath for the outcome because everything in it is true.

I expected this to be more of a romp that it was depicted in the title. I found the author frustrating at times since it was apparent that she wanted the men she contacted to read her mind and provide a connection of some sort - only she isn't clear to herself what that is.

I found her lack of accountability regarding being an alcoholic parent disturbing and the writing was not nearly as clean as you would expect from someone with her professional background.

I really enjoyed both the writing style and the history provided on the author's life.
