From running away from the \"perfect\" future husband(s), to interviewing A-list stars while contemplating an abortion, to bypassing men entirely to have a baby with an anonymous sperm donor, to partnering up with a sexy enigma while extremely pregnant and eventually finding a soulmate whom she swears she'll never marry, Alyssa's essays paint a deeply genuine, romantic, and uproarious portrait of a woman who lives by her own paradigm of love and lust, and who refuses to settle or sacrifice her fierce inner-spirit, sometimes to her own regret and detriment. Through her stories, confessions, and columns, she shares all the beautiful, embarrassing, and emotional details of her bleeding heart and busy bedroom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis Might Be Too Personal\u003c\/i\u003e is like having (several) drinks with your best friend who has seen, heard, and done everything.
