What does it take for us to put our lives on hold and begin to heal? In the midst of a sequence of traumatic events-recovering from crystal-meth addiction, facing infertility, battling chronic fatigue, surviving breast cancer, rebuilding a relationship with her narcissistic mother only for it to fall apart again before her mother's suicide-Clea realises she has to take a break from men. There had been too many disasters beginning with the Adonis-like Old Etonian, Luke, who can't stop cheating. What unites her with darkly handsome Tarquin, who follows Clea to the USA, only to rob her? Gordon, a dumpster-diving tweaker who deserts her for a porn star; Saint Peter who persuades her into rehab; sexually confused Brent; violent Conrad and self-obsessed Alfie? Why does she turn down decent Nat who is just too nice? As Clea digs through the evidence, she exposes learned behaviours that keep her dependent. Denial is a powerful drug and the endorphin rush of apologies, promises and make-up sex fix things over and over... until they don't. Rich, powerful and authentic, Some Boys I Knew takes us on a raw, insightful journey to becoming the person Clea most needs: Herself. A vivid memoir from the writer of Tweaking the Dream.
