Synopsis

A guide through the ups and downs of teen love, intimacy, and coming of age in a social media–infused world.

How do you meet someone in a post-pandemic world? Are dating apps a good idea? When do you know if you're really ready for sex? My Real-Life Rom-Com is filled with helpful information on everything from first kisses to devastating breakups. What if you develop a crush on your best friend's ex? Or you're catching feelings for an older guy? Author Carrie Berk has been there, done that.

This book is packed with humor and advice that takes the edge off uncomfortable conversations. Prepare to laugh at dozens of dating disasters experienced during middle and high school. Like the date who had a fly stuck in his tooth. Or the guy who had his mommy send a breakup text.

Through Carrie's unflinchingly honest stories, you'll learn how to get over your first breakup; understand the art of the "situationship;" make smart, not impulsive decisions; and ultimately love yourself before loving someone else.

She is a verified content creator across several social media channels, including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and Pinterest, with a monthly engagement of more than 100M.

A journalism major in college, Carrie is currently a reporter/contributing writer for HuffPost, Newsweek.com, The Daily Dot, and others, on topics ranging from beauty and style to celebrity and sports. She has served as an on-camera correspondent for TigerBeat and Girls' Life, covering red carpet arrivals and interviewing celebs at the Radio Disney Music Awards, New York Fashion Week, and the Teen Choice Awards.

She has acted on two Brat TV series, Stage Fright (as Karina) and Crown Lake (as the voice of Heather).

She is a bestselling children's book author with twenty-one books to her credit. She penned her first book, Peace, Love and Cupcakes, in 2012. The Cupcake Club series went on to publish twelve books, and became an award-winning Off-Broadway show and featured selection in 2017's New York Musical Festival. Her Fashion Academy series stems from her passion for fashion. The six-book series also became an Off-Broadway production at Vital Theatre and is currently licensed worldwide by Concord Music Publishing.

The Ask Emma series was based on Carrie's firsthand experience as a teen blogger and her dedication to being a role model for positive posting. She is a dedicated anti-bullying activist and an advocate for mental health awareness, especially for teens and women.

An avid runner, she ran the New York City Marathon in November, 2022.

I’m clearly not the target demographic for this 😂, but I heard the author on a podcast and was intrigued. That said, I basically had to force myself to finish it. Her privilege is so overwhelmingly obvious, yet she virtually never mentions it. Also, she’s presenting herself as somewhat of an authori......more
