Book Review: Becoming My Own F-ing Soulmate
Roxie thought hitting bottom was the worst day of her life.
Turns out, the real nightmare starts when the chaos stops—because now she has to deal with the one person she’s been avoiding for herself.
She survived the chaos. Now she has to survive herself.
In Becoming My Own F-ing Soulmate, Roxie is learning to live without the toxic relationships that once functioned like emotional caffeine. No more disaster men. No more intensity disguised as chemistry. Now it’s just her, the quiet, and her recovery CoolGirl fighting charm addiction, GlamGirl rebuilding a life she torched twice, TattooGirl hanging on by a thread, Alice insisting she’s “fine,” and Dr. Kath dismantling denial one uncomfortable truth at a time.
With no drama left to hide behind, every unresolved wound comes roaring to the surface. Dating turns into a full-contact sport of ghosters, love-bombers, self-proclaimed spiritual gurus, and one man who brings his emotional support tarot deck. And when “Mr. Handsome” arrives—stable, grounded, and emotionally available—Roxie spirals into the most uncomfortable territory of real intimacy.
She’s the one she keeps abandoning.
Darkly hilarious, brutally honest, and painfully real, Becoming My Own F-ing Soulmate is a novel about surviving your own patterns, letting people see you as you are, and choosing yourself—even when it feels wildly unfamiliar.
My Review
I absolutely loved Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex and Love Addict. This is where we first met Roxie. That book was raw and unapologetic. This book is peeling back more layers of the onion. If you read the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, then, you will love this book. The reason, I mention these books is because reading this book and Secret Life are good for the soul. Do yourself a favor and read this must read!
Seeing Roxie grow and trying to help her friends as well did put a smile on my face. I felt like I really grew close to Roxie in the first book, so to see her changing into a healthier and happier person, maybe feel a bit like a proud parent.
You have probably seen the headlines of a handful of celebrities, the most recent being Britany Spears "marrying" themselves. It is called sologamy. It is a symbolic act of self-love and commitment, where individuals celebrate their own worth and independence through a self-marriage ceremony. If you can't love yourself, how can you expect to love anyone else.
How the book started..."Why am I not fixed yet?" and how it ended..."Healthy relationships were all I was interested in."
