Description
Have you ever lost a friend? Was that loss in some
ways more painful than the end of a love affair?
There are so many ways that friendships can end, and
this book describes 35 of them, from talented and accomplished contributors. At
the heart of each essay is the recognition from each writer that she has lost
something very real and very personal, a connection that will never be forgotten.
The brave writers in this engrossing, diverse collection of 35 essays tell
their own unique stories of failed friendships and remind us of the
universality of loss.
Advance Praise
"There is little in life more heartbreaking than the friend breakup. My Other Ex may not take away all of the pain, but it reminds us that we aren't the only ones who've struggled with such intense feelings of loss sorrow, and can be an incredibly valuable step in moving on. Unfortunately, I speak from experience!" -- Jill Smokler, author of Confessions of a Scary Mommy
"Friendships between women simmer with force and tenacity, tenderness and manipulation, confidences and compassion. Then, sometimes, the simmer increases to a burn. My Other Ex collects stories of burn-out, the slow burn, and the uncontrolled wildfire. Each reader will find someone she knows here, including herself." -- Susanna Sonnenberg, author of She Matters: A Life in Friendships
"My Other Ex is a collection of beautiful and touching essays exploring the pain and confusion of getting dumped by, breaking up with, or simply drifting away from a once-loved friend. While our culture recognizes the difficulty of romantic break-ups, we don't always acknowledge the often sad--or even traumatic-- consequences of friendship rifts. Reading these essays will offer the comfort of understanding and recognition to those who have lost a friend of their own." -- Carlin Flora, author of Friendfluence: The Surprising Ways Friends Make Us Who We Are
