Don’t Do Anything I Would Do is a memoir about the wildly unhinged mess of modern love—and the even messier journey back to yourself.
The kind of love that makes you believe in fate, the kind that knocks you flat on your ass, and the kind that forces you to rebuild yourself from the ground up. It's about the kind of love that changes your life...whether it lasts or not.
Checking his location even when you swore you wouldn’t. Making playlists instead of moving on. Chemistry so intense it makes you temporarily lose your mind. And the absolute disaster that is modern dating.
But it’s also about what happens after. When the dust settles, when the texts stop, when you’re left with nothing but your own reflection and a choice. Stay stuck or start over.
Praise for Don’t Do Anything I Would Do
“Cara is an edgier East Village Carrie Bradshaw—a lover girl writer, but modern and unequivocally DOWNTOWN.”
—Zara Barrie, author of Girl Stop Passing Out In Your Makeup
“If you’re a fan of Sex and the City, you’ll fall in love with this book. It’s witty, empowering, and so relatable.”
—Amazon reviewer
“Reading this felt like watching SATC in the 90s—I didn’t want it to end. This belongs on screen.”
—Lorraine Toth
“Like the 10-minute version of ‘All Too Well’—you’ll be wrecked in the best way.”
—Amazon reviewer
“This must become a movie or a series!”
—Amazon reviewer
Because following your heart doesn’t always lead to the picture-perfect ending—but it will always lead you back to yourself. And sometimes, in the most unexpected ways, it leads you exactly where you were meant to be.
Told with the intimacy of a late-night conversation with your funniest friend, Cara Alwill blends laugh-out-loud humor with unflinching vulnerability, turning every bad decision into a story you'll recognize—and every heartbreak into a reason to keep believing in love.
This book is for you if:
You've analyzed text messages until your eyes bled.
You fell in love with potential instead of reality.
You’ve questioned whether timing really is everything.
You’ve had to burn your whole life down just to find yourself again.
Because love, even when it breaks you, has a way of putting you back together. Because hope, even when it feels impossible, has a way of finding you again. And because at the end of the day, the most powerful love story is the one where you finally choose yourself.
You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll text your best friend halfway through. You'll probably see yourself in at least one chapter you'd rather not admit to.
But if you've ever loved the wrong person, stayed too long, started over, or wondered whether your best days were behind you...
This story will remind you that the greatest love story you'll ever write is the one where you finally come home to yourself.
