We’ve seen it time and time again--the popular rom-com movie moment where you CRINGE watching a girl throwing herself at a man who has no interest in her whatsoever. It’s uncomfortable to witness, yet many of us have personally experienced dating and romantic-relationship scenarios not so different than that painful scene we’ve watched on-screen.Don’t Be This Girl is a bold, hilarious, and truth-packed wake-up call for (Christian) women who are ready to end broken dating patterns and dead-end love stories. Singles Pastor Cyndi Galley and Health Coach Ivette P. Osborne pull back the curtain on their own experiences of being 'that girl'-the one who fell for the fantasy, the drama, the chase, and the emotional chaos in pursuit of 'the one.'With both spiritual wisdom and real-talk honesty, the authors serve up practical insights, heartfelt encouragement, and honest reflection, calling women to rewrite their love story-with honesty, healing, and a willingness to do it differently.Getting raw and candid on what we should learn from certain on-screen leading ladies in how not to be in search of love, they share similar mistakes made in each of their journeys.Through a cheeky lens, they dissect 12 beloved romantic comedies (RomComs) and TV show female characters in search of love-including The Holiday, 27 Dresses, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Jerry Maguire, Runaway Bride, The Way We Were, Fools Rush In, and of course--Carrie Bradshaw & her Manhattan besties in Sex and the City-emphasizing how Hollywood’s unrealistic RomCom scripts have influenced many women--themselves included--to confuse unrealistic, on-screen scripted love for reality.Spoiler alert: Rom-coms are fun (we still love ’em), but trying to live one out in real life? That’s a setup for heartbreak.This is your invitation to stop repeating the same painful patterns and start becoming the kind of woman who doesn’t just wait for love-but who does the hard work so that she’s ready for it when it comes.A sassy must-read for the rom-com enthusiast, as well as every girl looking for answers on how to healthily navigate dating, love, and relationships, this book is a call to freedom and self-worth. The struggle is real, but it’s time for the struggle to be over. Don’t Be This Girl! will help you not only flip the script on toxic relationships as you’ve known and experienced, but you’ll never approach a relationship the same way after reading Don’t Be This Girl!
