Klappentext For once, these men are the objects; I am the subject. Me, me, me. Rosemary Mac Cabe was always a serial monogamist - never happier than when she was in a relationship or, at the very least, on the way to being in one. But in her desperate search for 'the one' - from first love to first lust, through a series of disappointments and the searing sting of heartbreak - she learned that finding love might mean losing herself along the way. This Is Not About You is a life story in a series of love stories. About Henry, with the big nose and the lovely mum, with whom sex was like having a verruca frozen off in the doctor's surgery: 'uncomfortable, but I had entered into this willingly'. About Dan, with the goatee. About Luke, who gave her a split condom. About Frank, who was married...But mostly, it's about Rosemary, figuring out just how much she was willing to sacrifice for her happy ending.
