In her newest foray into the world of strange and wonderful relationships, Dr. Joy shares honest-to-goodness real-life people and situations that will either make you feel right at home or make your own misery seem trivial by comparison. And she also gives you options for either continuing to strive for true heartbreak or opting for slightly more sanity...should you so desire. Dr. Joy starts off with personal ads too frightening to be true (but they are), takes you along on doomed first dates - into the hearts, closets, and messy bathrooms of determined singles everywhere - and gives you ten surefire ways to doom any date. She then looks into the future to toxic dating and beyond. The choice is yours: dating disasters...or how to avoid them.
