In her newest foray into the world of strange and wonderful relationships, Dr. Joy Browne shares honest-to-goodness, true-life people and situations with you that will either make you feel right at home or that your own tragic stories pale in comparison to; and she gives you the specific step-by-step options to either continue to strive for true misery or opt for more sanity should you so choose. She starts out with personal ads too frightening to be true--but they are; takes you along on doomed first dates into the hearts, closets, and messy kitchens of lonely singles everywhere; gives you ten--count 'em, ten--surefire ways to doom any date; and then looks into the future...to toxic dating and beyond. The choice is yours: dating disasters...or how to avoid them.
