Description
After escaping a suffocating marriage to her abusive childhood sweetheart, Sylvie Broder decides she is done with love. She returns to graduate school and sets out to prove that, for a straight woman to be truly happy, she must separate love from sex and give up on all pursuits of romance.
Driven by PhD research, relationship trauma and pride, Sylvie's new philosophy seems set to stick. Until Robbie comes along. And then Abie...Finding herself falling in love not once, but twice Sylvie must make a decision: to be brave and let this love in, or to choose her research and burn everything else to the ground.
Deeply relatable and utterly compelling, The End of Romance is an anti-romcom for anyone who, despite their very best efforts, has fallen in love and wondered why.
