LOVE REHAB

For anyone who has ever overdosed on love — you know, planning the wedding before the second date, etc. — comes Jo Piazza's dazzling debut LOVE REHAB: A Novel in 12 Steps. This is a delicious romantic comedy with an edge — think "Bridesmaids"!

Cyber-stalking, drive-bys, drunken text messaging, creating fake email accounts…face it, sometimes we're addicted to love and do crazy things. Nearly everyone has a tragic love story hiding under their bed. Like Sophie. Sophie isn’t dealing with her break-up well. Dumped by her boyfriend Eric for his sexting, D-cupped, 23-year-old Floozy McSecretary, city girl Sophie is left crazed and pajama-bound in her hometown. In her head she still pictures herself with Eric, the two of them walking down the aisle together. 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 rehab, Love Rehab, to fix the crazy that comes along with falling for someone. If you start it they will come: when Sophie opens up her home to the obsessed and lovelorn, she finds a way to help every woman out there who's overdosed on the wrong man. And all the helping saves Sophie herself from the deep end of crazy. Love is a drug and the only thing that can save us are the steps, rules, and one another. Step One is like all the other rules for addiction recovery: Admit you have a problem. Step Two is different: stay away from Facebook!
