By Peter Davis

My good friend, author Rachel Resnick, is reading from her juicy new book LOVE JUNKIE: A Memoir (Bloomsbury USA) at 7 p.m. tonight at Book Soup in West Hollywood. The bare-all hardcover is an eye-opening, often shocking look at Resnick's dangerous, brutal addiction to love and sex with all the wrong men and her wildly dysfunctional childhood (a mentally ill/alcoholic mother who committed suicide and a father who once took out a want ad looking for a place for his daughter to live!). Screw the faux-ness of reality TV -- Resnick's book is a no-holds-barred, raw as it gets car crash of searing prose. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down.
