In this snappy memoir, Christine Wild pours us a glass and invites us to take a scalpel to her life.

Her exploration of intimacy and modern relationships in the age of Tinder, the gig-economy and major FOMO has us asking: What do real “love” and “success” entail? How do we navigate the expectations we set for ourselves while carrying the weight of expectations others set for us?
