The Facebook Narcissist is the first book dedicated to exploring the relationship between narcissism and social media.

Fast paced, fun, and full of seriously naughty revenge...When four mountain mercenaries found me alone in a bar, in a dirty wedding dress, and with mascara stains under my eyes, deep into several shots of tequila, they had a few questions. Like WTF? When they learned about the a-holes who used me in their quest to get ahead - who lied, stole, and tossed me aside like a piece of human garbage, they set out to exact revenge. Those people, who exploited me and preyed on my innocence, should have just killed me because now they’re going to pay, thanks to my men.

When three gorgeous chefs decide they want to expand their restaurant right into my boutique next door, things start to heat up. In more ways than one. With big dreams and bigger egos, three sinfully handsome restaurant owners are out to grow their culinary empire. Problem is, my little pet store is right in their way.

So I split. Flew the coop. Got the hell out of dodge. I figured I could do better on my own. And how wrong I was. Why’d I do it? Because I’m stubborn. Spoiled. A pain in the ass. And I hate the mountains. Although the guys were nice. And hot. And sexy. That made it hard to leave. Well, so did their locking me in my room. Sharing a house with brawny mountain men?

When my college crush, Talbot Richardson, was elected to the United States Senate, I bragged a little too loudly that I knew him. Oops. Did I really know the sexiest, slickest guy on campus? Not a chance in hell. Unless knowing someone is following them around campus to see which dorm they live in, and which class they have at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays. Thanks to my big mouth, the paper I work for now expects me to do a story on him. Surely he’ll meet with me since we went to college together? Right? Logical assumption, except that he doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall.

It’s confusing, frustrating, and sometimes you end up with an extra screw…which, let’s face it, is basically a metaphor for our emotional lives.But, what I’ve learned over the years as a Therapist and Relationship Coach is that the comfort comes from knowing how to talk about hard things well, not in knowing how to avoid tough conversations like the plague.
