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 itโs not going to work. Maybe you overheard the wrong thing due to the physics-defying acoustics in the ladiesโ room you ducked into during a dinner date (as in Amy Wrubleโs โJunk in the Trunkโ). Maybe you realized that itโs just impossible to be with a guy who orders a โcrecheโ of wine instead of a carafe of wine, because โHey, Baby. I'm a writer. I play with words.โ (as in Lynn Snowden Picketโs โNorm Crosby Syndromeโ). Or maybe it was as obvious as having your boyfriend say that he thinks of other women during sex with you (as in Rhonda Talbotโs โRevenge Babyโ). Whatever the details of that head-slapping moment, these epiphanies make great storiesโwhether 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

Maira Kalman
