Don't Do Anything I Would Do A Memoir About Love, Heartbreak, and the Beautiful, Brutal Art of Reinvention
It's giving unhinged but wise older sister energy-the one who's been through it all and is here to spill every chaotic, heart-wrenching, and hilarious detail over cocktails.
At its heart, Don't Do Anything I Would Do is a memoir about love-the kind that makes you believe in fate, the kind that knocks you flat on your ass, and the kind that forces you to rebuild yourself from the ground up. It's about big love and even bigger heartbreaks.
Divorce. Situationships. Love-bombing. Ghosting. Grand gestures. Gut-wrenching betrayals.
Checking his location even when you swore you wouldn't. Making playlists instead of moving on. Chemistry so intense it makes you temporarily lose your mind. And the absolute disaster that is modern dating.
But it's also about what happens after-when the dust settles, when the texts stop, when you're left with nothing but your own reflection and a choice: stay stuck or start over.
More than anything, this book is about:
?? Owning your mistakes ?? Ignoring every red flag in the name of "what if" ?? Romanticizing chaos (until you don't) ?? Surviving heartbreak and thriving in the aftermath
Because following your heart doesn't always lead to the picture-perfect ending-but it will always lead you back to yourself. And sometimes, in the most unexpected ways, it leads you exactly where you were meant to be.
With brutal honesty, razor-sharp wit, and the kind of self-awareness that only comes from truly embarrassing life choices, bestselling author Cara Alwill peels back the layers of modern love, heartbreak, and reinvention in all its messy, soul-crushing, wildly romantic glory.
This book is for you if:
You've ever gone back to a situationship you SWORE you were done with You've waited for a text that never came You've questioned whether timing really is everything You've had to burn your life down just to find yourself again

And because at the end of the day, the most powerful love story is the one where you finally choose yourself. Raw, hilarious, and deeply relatable, Don't Do Anything I Would Do is a love letter to the ones who feel too much, fall too hard, and refuse to settle for anything less than the life-and love-they deserve.
