About the Book

After escaping a suffocating marriage to her abusive childhood sweetheart, Sylvie Broder decides she is done with love. She returns to graduate school and sets out to prove that, for a straight woman to be truly happy, she must separate love from sex and give up on all pursuits of romance.

Driven by PhD research, relationship trauma and pride, Sylvie's new philosophy seems set to stick. Until Robbie comes along. And then Abie...Finding herself falling in love not once, but twice Sylvie must make a decision: to be brave and let this love in, or to choose her research and burn everything else to the ground.

Deeply relatable and utterly compelling, The End of Romance is an anti-romance romance novel for anyone who, despite their very best efforts, has fallen in love and wondered why.

Review :
If Grace Paley and Miranda July had a baby, the result would be The End of Romance. Hilarious, off-kilter, sparklingly special, deliciously Jew-ish and disarmingly deep, this book made me feel 10 percent less dead inside The End of Romance is an incredibly well-researched, feminist, philosophical romance novel. If you thought a novel couldn't do all of the above - think again! I loved Meyer's gripping writing style and felt so much for her characters, especially Sylvie who intellectualises romance to avoid ever being hurt again. I'm curious to read more of the author's work! For literary fiction and romance readers alike, The End of Romance unfurls questions about what female pleasure, satisfaction, and happiness truly look like. Meyer conjures a hothouse of academic passion and political tumult in one woman's quest for self-acceptance Meyer's novel is earnest and analytical, interspersed with theory and sex
