Description:
As Alex prepares for her trip to Switzerland, the boyfriend she always thought would carry her to the end unexpectedly dumps her. As she tackles the trip on her own, with her over powering, self-destructive, prescription drugged mother coddling at her sleeve, Alex finally realizes that life was meant for more. After bathing herself in European couture and Swiss chocolate, Alex returns to her new life in Seattle where she finds that becoming a bitch, might have been the best move she ever made. Flanked by her two best friends, one a promiscuous virgin, and the other an ADD Barbie doll without morals, they find trouble close at hand. As she struggles between obsessive old flames, and successful new fires, Alex unexpectedly finds that what she always wanted had been there all along. Follow Alex as she transforms herself into the woman she always thought she could be, a woman no man could resist, in a place where drinking is what you do for breakfast, and self-destruction is normal. Part Memoir, part fictional journey, Eva Johnson explores her past. Come see what many have claimed to be an irresistibly funny depiction of life in motion. “Road sodas!” Aly had screamed loudly in the beer aisle, holding her arms out like a tiny gladiator as her purse dangled limply from her infinitesimal bicep. Josh had put his toned arms out willingly as she piled them high with a few different kinds of beer, figuring she could never settle on just one flavor, story of her life. Josh was like a pet to her, and I felt a sense of mourning knowing his attempts were futile.
Publisher's opinion:
