Love never means losing yourself.

In I Call Bullshit, Becca tears off the rose-colored glasses that once colored her view of life. This intimate memoir of surviving betrayal and reclaiming her true self—a self she had deliberately pushed aside in an effort to please others—inspires you to invest in rediscovering your own self-worth. Because ultimately, the relationship most worth saving is the one you have with yourself.

Becca Christensen worked for years to create an idyllic home far different from the one in which she grew up. She had what she thought was the perfect relationship with the perfect man: romantic serenades, Christmas at Disney World, and a beautiful new house. Then a phone call changed everything, destroying any illusions Becca had about a happily ever after. She soon found herself nearly drowning in a tsunami of lies.

Book Excerpt:

I could feel my body cracking open against my will, its truths starting to emerge from under the layers of shame that had been subtly and carefully constructed.

I wasn’t sad, although anyone who saw me would have thought otherwise. I looked like a depressed and naked drowned rat hanging onto the edge of the tub. But no, I wasn’t sad - and I wasn’t angry. Inside of me, I felt a new strength building. Before, I had been at war with myself, knowing that I had to accept how he treated me no matter how ashamed or scared it made me feel. For years, he had tried to convince me that I should feel the same way he did, that all of this was OK. But this time, his behavior had summoned what felt like an ancient and awful truth within me, one that would no longer remain silent: I was not safe here.

It felt like he wanted to defeat me, wanted to make me feel small. Yet, as I pushed myself up to stand under the still flowing water, I felt like a warrior rising up to fight.
