What prompts a young woman to abandon the safe bounds of convention for the unknown? At first, all Melanie Berliet understood was that she'd lost her sense of what 'supposed to' meant. And that her older sister Celine was sick. While it's tough to understand what leads a person into addiction--to witness someone you love kind-of kill herself--the truth is that you can learn from it. By the time Celine died at age 30, she was Kermit The Frog green and she vomited blood more frequently than she was able to eat. In less than a decade, she had gone from summa cum laude Columbia graduate to NYU...

In 1 On 1, Melanie explores sex, dating, love, and relationships in her trademark straightforward style, which embarrasses some and deters others, but appeals to the id in everyone. Her candor isn't designed to shock readers so much as it's intended to encourage men and women alike to contemplate their innermost desires-the sexual, psychological, and emotional stuff that makes us all so very human. This astonishingly truthful book will force you to reflect in between laughing. As you see your secret thoughts appear naked on the page, you're also bound to squirm with recognition."

The truth is that we don't all give and receive love in the same ways. While some of us crave affection more than anything, others value spending time together above all, and still others respond best to heartfelt compliments. Thanks to expert Gary Chapman, we know there are five main love languages: physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, and receiving gifts. This book is for everyone interested in building and maintaining happy, healthy relationships through understanding their love language and their partner's even better.
