Love and music collide in this refreshing, uplifting memoir that chronicles the romantic coming-of-age of a woman in her 20s experiencing the dating scene in the San Francisco Bay Area. After the disappointment of a failed marriage, Natalye Childress embarks on a soul-searching journey to discover what happens when true and everlasting turns out not to last that long. Using music as a vehicle to express herself, she revisits 10 men of her past and paints a portrait of their relationship through the mixtapes she made them. Her quest for love sees her take up with noncommittal beaus and abusive boyfriends and give the always-complicated friends-with-benefits relationship a try. She candidly dissects her love life as she shares the inspiring and hopeful moments alongside the awkward and painful relationships that accompany dating in the modern world, all on the way to discovering the truth of the age-old maxim: in order to be truly loved, you need to love yourself first.
