No, actually, somebody else wrote the book. The book's author interviewed a bunch of other writers about their experiences with Dyke Drama. My ex just happened to be one of those people.

Petty and shallow, I know....but that's ME!
Heh. You're evil, all right.
I wouldn't give the Dyke Drama book a bad review, though -- I'd have to review something my ex wrote. And if I did that, she'd know it was me.
My philosophy for a long time after we broke up was "Getting published (meaning as a writer myself) is the best revenge."
I've gotten over that, though.
But before I
did get over it, I used to run GoogleFight searches with both our names. The last three or four times I did that, I won.
So I stopped doing it. Better to quit while I was ahead.
I will tell you something that freaked me out about the book I mentioned earlier (this is absolutely true): one of the people who was quoted in the book, telling stories about dyke drama that they've been involved in, was an ex-girlfriend of mine. I had no idea that she was in the book when I bought it, so it was a huge shock to come across her name (I know it was her because her whole name was included). It was even more disturbing to read one of the stories she told and wonder, "Is she talking about me?"
