What Was I Thinking? is a collection of first-person essays
describing the moment in a relationship when, no matter how
much you think it should work, or want it to work, or
need it to work, you get that it’s not going to
work. Maybe you overheard the wrong thing due to
the physics-defying acoustics in the ladies’ room you ducked
into during a dinner date (as in Amy Wruble’s “Junk in the
Trunk”). Maybe you realized that it’s just impossible
to be with a guy who orders a “creche” of wine instead of a
carafe of wine, because “Hey, Baby. I'm a writer. I play
with words.” (as in Lynn Snowden Picket’s “Norm Crosby
Syndrome”). Or maybe it was as obvious as having your
boyfriend say that he thinks of other women during sex with
you (as in Rhonda Talbot’s “Revenge Baby”).
Whatever the details of that head-slapping moment,
these epiphanies make great stories—whether frantically
texted, recounted over lattes, or savored in What Was I
Thinking? Included in this collection are more than
fifty classic bad boyfriend stories, from writers including:
Carrie Fisher Claudia Handler Bonnie
Bruckheimer Maira Kalman Cindy Chupack Rachel
Resnick Mimi Pond Francesca Lia Block Nicole Hollander
