Three women confront the compromises they ve made to appease the men they love in this razor-sharp, emotionally resonant novel from an author who makes a particular female experience vivid, centered, seen (Elle)Joy and Annie are friends and roommates whose thirty-something lives aren t exactly what they d imagined. To make ends meet, they decide to rent their extra bedroom to Theo, who charms Joy with his salt-and-pepper hair and adoration of their one-eyed cat. When Annie goes to live with her boyfriend, Theo and Joy settle into a comfortable domesticity. Then Theo brings home Celine, the girlfriend he s never mentioned, who is possibly the most stunning woman Joy has ever seen. Joy resolves to do whatever it takes to hold on to him, falling ever deeper into an emotional hellscape of her own making. She is too obsessed to realize that Celine s beauty doesn t protect her from pain. Haunted aby an event from her past, Celine can t escape her shame and finds herself in an endless cycle of self-sabotage.Annie is baffled żeby Joy s senseless devotion to Theo, but she s consumed żeby her own obsessions: she can t stop parsing her commitment-phobic boyfriend s texts in an exhausting mission to maintain his approval. At work, where she fully embraces her natural assertiveness, Annie is a star. But when an anonymous letter lands on her desk accusing her esteemed and supportive boss of sexual misconduct, she is forced to decide who and what she s willing to stand up for.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. It asks, why do so many smart, compassionate, otherwise empowered women tolerate egregious behavior from the men they love? And what will it take for them to reclaim control?
