Secret Life of A Hollywood Sex & Love Addict- Brianne Davis

One sassy and scandalous self help book. 

Brianne Davis bravely cracks herself open and allows her vulnerable sex and love- addictive self be seen. Davis tells her story through the pseudonym Roxanne. When we think of addictions, we rarely think of sex, let alone love, but these are Roxanne’s addictions. This story follows this young Hollywood actress’s first year of recovery, a path that is anything but smooth. Along the way we learn about some outrageous ventures involving A-list actors and since Davis doesn’t drop any names, you may find yourself turning into a sleuth looking for faces behind these juicy escapades. Ultimately this a story of coming home to oneself and discovering that recovery isn’t a “one and done” process but something you have to commit to daily for the rest of your life. 

Truly, I didn’t know what to expect going into a book titled “Secret Life of A Hollywood Sex & Love Addict.” Would this be another story of the trivial, shallow struggles of some rich white lady? Curiosity got the better of me and I’m so glad it did. I was delightfully proven wrong.

I’m so grateful books like this exist. Books that help you feel seen and less alone. I actually saw so much of my past self in this book, frighteningly so. Davis’ 10 step program chock full of gems of wisdom would have been such a helpful guide for me to read throughout my teens and twenties. Whether or not you can relate to sex and/or love addiction, this is a powerful read that will help bring awareness to this disease and help break the stigma. Keep a pencil nearby, you’ll want to take notes.
