Come To Your Senses Day- “What Was I Thinking

Sunday, February 15th at 2pm Borders, 2817 N. Clark St. WHAT WAS I THINKING: 58 Bad Boyfriend Stories combines the aren’t-we-fabulous attitude of Sex and the City and the observational humor of I Feel Bad About My Neck, and is edited by a bestselling author and an Emmy award-winning producer. This collection of stories celebrates the instant when logic, common sense, and simple self-respect triumph over the human need to be loved—or, at least, the need to be in a relationship. It features first-person essays by actress Carrie Fisher, producer Bonnie Bruckheimer, and writers Cindy Chupak and Rachel Resnick. It is not a male-bashing book. Rather, it is a brilliant anthology by women looking back at themselves—poignantly, humorously, maybe sometimes in disbelief—to see how and why they got involved with the “bad boyfriend” in the first place. Whether it’s the boyfriend in “Norm Crosby Syndrome” who refers to a carafe of wine as a “crèche”; or the woman who overhears her date complaining about the “junk in her trunk”; there is something to relate to or laugh about.
