With Judy Blume-like honesty and insight, this sequel to Anatomy of a Boyfriend is about life after first love--romance, sex, friendship, family, and the ups and downs of life as a single girl.
After everything that happened—my first boyfriend, my first time, my first breakup—jumping back into the dating game seemed like the least healthy thing I could do. It’s not that I didn’t want to fall in love again, since that’s about the best feeling ever. But as a busy college premed still raw from heartbreak, which is the worst feeling ever, I figured I’d lie low for a while. Of course, as soon as I stopped looking for someone, an impossibly amazing—and devastatingly cute—guy came along, and I learned that having a new boyfriend is the quickest way to recover from losing your old one.
The moment we got together, all my preconceptions about romance and sex were turned upside down. I discovered physical and emotional firsts I never knew existed. I learned to let go of my past by living in the present. It was thrilling. It was hot. It was just what the doctor ordered.But I couldn’t avoid my future forever.
I’m
pretty sure these don’t qualify as “interesting,” but they’re certainly
unusual:
1)
I used to be obsessed with the actor Anthony Hopkins. Like, I was a one-person
cult and he was my supreme leader. You
can read about it here:
2)
I wrote my senior thesis about the filmmaker Ang Lee just so I could have an
excuse to watch Sense and Sensibility
over and over again.
3)
I once worked at a radio station where my job was to attend promotional events
and follow around our dragon-costumed mascot in
order to keep kids from grabbing his tail.
Real résumé builder, huh?
