For people who are wondering whatever happened to romance

_Come Here, Go Away_ is a book for adults who find that they are unable to have intimate relationships. It seems to go a little too far in that the author attempts to cover both people who *have* relationships but aren't able to communicate fully with their partner, and people who haven't had relationships for many years or have never had a relationship. And I feel these are two quite different problems. It also deals with diverse issues like drug addiction and memories of childhood sexual abuse... like I said, it tries to do too much.What's good in this book, if you're a person who hasn't had a relationship in years, is that it uncovers the lies you may tell yourself and the games you may play to avoid being close to other people. It also tells how to overcome these difficulties. If you're a person who hasn't had an intimate relationship in years (and over 1/3 of the U.S. adult population hasn't, by the way) then this book is definitely worth reading.
