Holly Wells became the product of divorce in her teen years. Her whole world was upended when her mother took up with another man. Soon after, her father moved on with a new family and cruelly abandoned Holly and her sisters to appease his new wife. All Holly ever wanted was to be loved and needed, but the cold hand of rejection continued to slap her in the face. The trauma of her parents� decisions made her seek validation elsewhere, often from toxic men. Holly chronicles her painful past as she delves deep into her relationship experiences, including being in a relationship with a drug addict who was physically/emotionally abusive, navigating teen motherhood, and continuously attracting unfaithful partners.
Can Holly get the happily ever after she deserves, or is she destined to be a magnet for liars and cheaters?
