Story4 out of 5 stars 2,123
A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later I met a man, and we fell madly in love. It was a fairy-tale romance for a month and a half, and he convinced me to join him on a romantic month-long vacation in Italy. Forty-eight hours before we were supposed to get on a plane, he told me he needed to go by himself. I was devastated. So, I had a decision to make. Either stay home and be heartbroken, or go travel Europe for a month by myself.

A fixation on porn and orgasm, strings of failed relationships and serial hook-ups with strangers, inevitable blackouts to blunt the shame - these are not things we often hear women share publicly, and not with the candor, eloquence and introspection Erica Garza brings to Getting Off. Garza draws an evocative, studied portrait of the anxiety that fuels her obsessions as well as the exhilaration and hope she begins to feel when she suspects she might be free of them. And yet there is no false or prepackaged sense of redemption here.

I was bored, angry, tired, and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog, and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless.

So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

That's What Junkies Do is a brutally honest, often dark journey of one man's struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction. The story starts innocently enough in 1980's Brooklyn, NY, with a young boy, Thomas Figlioli, making a bad choice so he could gain the respect of a group of kids he looked up to and admired. Alcohol gives him the courage to be the person he always wanted to be. His fear and insecurity leaves and his lifelong struggle begins. When thoughts of ending it all become a better choice than living how he is, Thomas finally asks for help.

Publisher's summary
Imagine if Sex and the City's Samantha discovered she was an addict and her drug of choice was men. Go on a hilarious, inspiring, and at times, shocking journey as Roxanne conquers her fears, changes her ways, gets closer to healthy relationships and begins loving herself a little more each day.
After years of working as an image-obsessed actress in Hollywood, Roxanne finds herself at rock bottom from a disease that is anything but glamorous. In her first year of recovery, Roxanne has to take accountability for her past. From tales of being mistaken for a prostitute at the Hotel Bel-Air to botching a threesome attempt with an A-list celebrity, she must face the truth about herself and stop playing the victim.
Roxanne's odyssey of using sex and love - as destructive and beguiling as an alcoholic reaching for a bottle - is a veritable rollercoaster of ups and downs, laughter and tears, and a true testament to facing your absolute truth and conquering your fears.
Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict has the vibrant, relatable vibe of chick lit, the soul-baring honesty of a memoir and the wisdom of a self-help book.
In this unique roman à clef novel, Brianne Davis shares her own intimate experience with the transformational power of recovery, providing strength and hope for anyone who wants to change their life forever.
So take a front-row seat into this complex world and the 10 RULES Roxanne learns along the way.
Critic reviews
"A powerful, raw and vulnerable read." (Olivia Munn, actress, The Newsroom)
"WOW! THIS BOOK! What a wild, raw, and as author Brianne Davis says, totally gnarly ride about a Hollywood sex addict - and her inspiring journey toward self-love, personal growth, and healing." (Emily Giffin, New York Times best-selling author of The Lies That Bind)
"Davis' stories are honest, almost to the point of painfully so, as she tells the story of navigating a world where sex and beauty are commodities to be used and abused by those who have the power. At the end of the day, like Sex and the City, this is a tale of finding one’s self and reasserting a true feminist ideal: that your destiny is yours to create." (Lucy Danziger, New York Times best-selling author of The Nine Rooms of Happiness and former editor-in-chief of SELF)

Absolutely Amazing
This book!!! I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or scream. The author vividly documents to her journey to healing. This is raw, real, and speaks to every single person. The true message I heard was to learn to love yourself. I am not a sex and love addict but I still related to every single line she wrote. We can all find a path to healing through this incredible read. Being a busy mom I haven’t picked up a book in years, (yes years). I couldn’t put it down so I had to download the audio version as well to listen during my trips back and forth carpooling kids to activities. I felt myself mourning the end of the book, I just wanted more. Well done, absolutely amazing.

Inspirational and Raw!
This book is inspirational and raw! Brianne takes you on her journey of her love and sex addiction. I went through all the emotions of excitement, fear, sadness, laughter and joy. Her amazing writing took me to every level of emotion. I felt like I was in the story with her and could visualize every scene. I am a writer as well and resonated with a lot of the same experiences Roxy went through to discover self-love and true happiness. Thank you for being vulnerable and taking us on this inspirational and transformational journey.

Wow! Hilarious, relatable, and bittersweet
The most memorable moment that sounded like something out of a Judd Apatow film was that botched threesome with Cool Girl and Superstar. That made me laugh and cry for Roxanne, laugh for botching that encounter, and cry because Cool Girl did not seem cool to me at all. Thank you again for this entertaining story

Must read
Anyone who puts their life so out there is so brave and this book was more than I was expecting. She didn’t hold back and talked about real things. Anyone with any addiction can relate to this story. She revealed her raw truths to help others.

I feel like you wrote this book about me…
Thank you
I have been a real “ Dirtbag” and I have listened to your book in your words and will rewind it and start it again and probably again & again
Because I know I might have missed important parts because my mouth was hanging open and I was putting the faces and names of my characters in place of yours
I can’t thank you enough for answering my questions ,one on the daily .WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME ?
I’m scared and excited I’m afraid and happy
Thank you so very much sooo very much
I wish I could talk to you … I guess I need to look for a meeting for my 1st step wish me luck Susan Scott 🤞

I needed this!
This was such an awesome book! It was raw, inspiring and hilarious. I heard Brianne on a podcast and she mentioned her book, I immediately went to look for it and began listening. I’ve read a lot of books about sex & love addiction like “women who love too much” “facing love addiction” “how to break an addiction to a person” among many others but there’s nothing like reading a book written by another addict about their personal experiences! I’ve been a member of AA for a while and Ive always felt like there was something else going on underneath the drinking, especially when it came to my relationships. After listening to this Briannes story I knew sex and love addiction had been a constant underlying issue of the drinking, I heard my story in hers and the other S&L addicts she mentions. I love that she shared her story and I hope it inspires others to ask for help like it did me! I will definitely listen to it again! Highly recommend!

I'm the One That I Want, based on her show of the same name, is filled with dead-on insights about the experience of being a woman with attitude, of flowing with the highs and lows of life, and of creating one's own identity and acceptance. It is every bit as hilarious, shocking, and irreverent as she is.

By the time she was in her late 20s, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love".

In her first book, Idiot, bestselling author Laura Clery gave us mind-blowingly personal life stories about addiction, toxic relationships, and recovery—establishing herself as the preeminent voice of infinite conviction meets zero impulse control. Here she is two kids later asking, “How did we get here?” Sex. Sex is how we got here.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

For comedian and content creator Manon Mathews, comedy is life. But it took more than luck for her hilarious antics on Vine to open the door to her career. It took years of routinely embarrassing herself, improv classes, some stints as an amateur stand-up comic, unrelenting dedication, and one life-altering night out that forced her to change her ways. This set her on the path to manifesting her dream life.

In a strange world where Rose McGowan was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them.
