About this ebook
Cyber-stalking, drive-bys, drunken text messaging, creating fake email accounts—you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to love.
Sophie isn’t dealing with her breakup well. Dumped by her boyfriend, Eric, for his sexting, D-cupped, young Floozy McSecretary, Sophie leaves Manhattan and lands back in her hometown, crushed and pajama-clad, blaming herself and begging her ex for a second chance.
But when her best friend, Annie, gets in trouble for driving drunk and is forced to go to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, something clicks in Sophie’s strung-out mind. Women need love rehab, she realizes, to help fix the craziness that comes along with falling for someone.
If you start it, they will come. When she opens up her home to the obsessed and lovelorn, Sophie finds a way to help women out there who have overdosed on the wrong men—and she saves herself in the process.
Love is a drug and the only things that can save us are the steps, rules, and one another. Step one: Admit you have a problem, and keep the hell away from Facebook.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.This is a very amusing book with a witty insight to the madness that a break-up can cause. The drunken binges, the constant texting and calling, the crazy on-line stalking. This book has it all and more. It pulls together a great cast of characters who help each other through their own break-ups in a similar style to Alcoholic's Anonymous. Only instead of just having the twelve steps and the serenity prayer, some of the women end up staying at Sophie's house in a form of rehab.With a pregnant Indian woman, a recovering alcoholic, a yoga teacher, a woman who has tried everything that's going and a woman whose boyfriend dumped her and then starred on a reality tv show to find a bride, Sophie finally starts to heal, to get over Eric dumping her to be with his secretary.This is a well-written story with a great insight into how women cope and the strange lengths some will go to, to try and stay in contact with their ex in some strange and bizarre way.
