How to Fall Out of Love Madly: A Novel

Product Information

While funny at times, this story really captured what it is like to be a woman who doesn’t know her worth, and I loved every moment of it. Whelp, this salt and pepper haired man does something for Joy because soon enough, she falls head over heels for him.

Perceptive, mordantly funny, and full of heart, How to Fall Out of Love Madly examines women's many relationships-with one another, their mothers, their work, men, and themselves-to reveal their underlying power and complexity.

She even took off her shoes and tucked her feet up under herself trying to find a position comfortable enough to stop the pain. Michaelides takes a literary turn in his latest novel, employing an unreliable narrator, the structure of classical drama, and a self-conscious eye to dismantling the locked-room mystery.

I wanted to turn around and say, “Fuck you,” but my instinct was to just leave the party as soon as possible, so I did. This is Joy, who is hopelessly in love with her roommate Theo, who has an exquisitely beautiful girlfriend named Celine who frequently stays over and. I know it’s only January and I know this is only my 6th book of the year and I know I will read many, many more in the coming months, but I also know that no matter how many I read, this one will be among my favorites! Let’s make a pact that no matter who moves in here, this is still our home and we’re not going to be pushed out by them,” she said. I had taken the incident on as a little piece of shame that I tucked away and carried around, and that was it; never did I left the burden fall on anyone else’s shoulders but my own.And then I shut the hell up because I realized something: my body was defining my life and her body was defining her life, and it was reckless and absurd of me to pretend we were living the same life. Joy and Annie are friends and roommates whose thirty-something lives aren't exactly what they'd imagined. Sexual assaults that seem easier to just let go, because they’re ‘not a big deal,’ even though they’re a violation of your body all the same.
