{"product_id":"five-men-who-broke-my-heart","title":"Five Men Who Broke My Heart - A Memoir","description":"In this honest, hilarious, fiercely intelligent memoir, journalist Susan Shapiro  dares to do what every woman dreams of: track down the five men who'd broken her  heart and find out what really went wrong. Between the ages of thirteen and thirty-five,  Susan had plunged into love, heart-first, five times. One bad breakup was more hurtful  and humiliating than the next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With insight and daring, Susan chronicles her six-month-long  journey back down a road strewn with romantic regret. Although for years she'd blamed  her boyfriends for their flagrant infidelity, ludicrous faults, and immature foibles,  to her shock she can now suddenly pinpoint the exact moment where she herself screwed  up each relationship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A successful freelance writer living in Manhattan, Susan  Shapiro was in the midst of a midlife crisis she called her “no-book-no-baby summer.”  Married for five years to Aaron, a workaholic TV comedy writer always on the road,  she was beginning to wonder if she'd remain book- and babyless forever. Then the  phone rang, and it was Brad, a college flame who'd become a Harvard scientist with  a book coming out. Susan offers to interview him, and she winds up launching into  all the intense, invasive questions she'd always wanted to ask him. To her surprise,  he answers them! This ignites a spark that sends her on a cross-country jaunt back  through her lust-littered past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While Brad is still single, she finds that Heartbreaks  Number Two, Three, and Four are not.  George, a theater professor, and Richard, a  music biographer, are happily married with children. Tom, a handsome blond lawyer  in L.A., is getting divorced. Just as it's becoming easy to worm her way back into  her exes' good graces, she crashes head-on with David, a wry Canadian root canal  specialist. (\"It’s the equivalent of what you did to me emotionally,\" she tells him.)  She then gut-wrenchingly relives the agony of splitting up with her first love all  over again. Yet somewhere between the tantalizing what-ifs and bittersweet might-have-beens,  she finds what she's been searching for all along.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part relationship manifesto,  part confessional, and part valentine to the males in her life she adores, \u003cb\u003eFive Men  Who Broke My Heart\u003c\/b\u003e is for anyone who has ever wondered what became of their first  love. Or second, third, fourth, or fifth…","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50950521749792,"sku":"9780385337793","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780385337793.jpg?v=1763627591","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/five-men-who-broke-my-heart","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
