All The Twats I Met Along The Way is Carolyn Hobdey's story that a million and one women are going to resonate with, laugh along with, sigh and cry with. It's a story of growing up, moving on, falling down and getting back up again. Transformation and acceptance, strength and resilience." What happens when you so deeply believe something you were told as a child that it becomes the driving force behind almost every thought, feeling and action for the rest of your life... until you decide to take complete control and change your life entirely? For decades, successful HR and transformational change expert, Carolyn Hobdey, believed she was 'trouble' and if she wasn't 'nicer' she'd spend her days alone and unloved. All The Tw*ts I Met Along The Way tells the tales of crappy boyfriends, sickening sexual encounters, manipulative men, love triangles, unsupportive and unsupported medical diagnoses... and that's just in the first few pages. From porn-addicted boyfriends who rapidly go from total fitties to owners of 'dad bods, ' to car crashes and boob jobs. Marriage to a lover who became more like a brother (and who turns out to have been hiding the fact he's gay throughout their 15 year relationship) and later a relationship with a man and his 'ready made family' that exposes a damaging case of coercive control and narcisstic personality disorder. Carolyn's story exposes the unrelenting pull of the child-parent relationship - even in adulthood - and all the messiness and confusion that can cause. As she writes, "I didn't want to be the trouble-maker, the one to cause my parents concern, anymore." All The Tw*ts I Met Along The Way is a story many women will be able to identify with, from teenage heartbreak to a series of dangerous relationships, battles with internal thoughts and feelings versus external perceptions and reputations. Fans of Bridget Jones and Amy Schumer's The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo will appreciate the candour, humour and raw honesty about heartbreak, adulting, domestic abuse, premature menopause, childlessness, and personal tragedies.
