Alexandra Heminsley

Un relato honesto y punzantemente divertido sobre los horrores de las rupturas y la búsqueda del amor.Si hubiera un reino de las mujeres a quienes han dejado , Alexandra Heminsley sería la reina . Han cortado con ella en restaurantes , en rellanos de escalera ¡ e incluso en un cementerio ! Heminsley comparte sus experiencias y nos guía en un viaje , repleto de carcajadas , desde el desamparo inicial hasta el rollete por despecho , pasando por todo tipo de relaciones condenadas al fracaso y rituales obligados para recuperarse y seguir adelante . Pero , sobre todo , revela una importante verdad: que rompan contigo no debería ser algo de que avergonzarse sino una medalla de honor. Porque si no estás dispuesta a arriesgarlo todo , nunca encontrarás el amor.

Weve all been there: one minute youre in a loving relationship, or maybe just on your third date with a guy whos not too weird, the next minute youve been dumped. Now youre a reject, choking back the sobs as you trundle home alone.If Dumped was a kingdom, Alexandra Heminsley would be its queen. Shes been dumped in a restaurant, dumped in a stairwell, dumped in a graveyard - the locations changed but the excruciating pain stayed the same. Now in this intimate and witty memoir she shares her experiences, taking us on a laugh-out-loud journey from her initial helpless dejection to the rebound fling and several other failed relationships that finally set her on the road to recovery. She shares the insights she gathered along the way, from what heartbreak really does to your hormones to what he really means when he says, Its not you, its me, as well as what not to do with your hair when youve been dumped. And, of course, the best ways to utilise the healing power of songs - after all, no one wants to get stuck in the Mary J. Blige Contemplative Stage for too long but woe betide the girl who attempts the EurythmicsThorn in My Side too soon. Above all, Alexandra reveals the important truth she learns: that being dumped should not be a source of shame but should be a badge of honour. Because unless youre ready to risk all, youll never find love.
