Bøger udgivet af Chuck Valentine

Thirty-seven-year-old writer Chuck Valentine is a man in crisis. Recently divorced and troubled by the demands of single fatherhood, he longs for love and the chance to rebuild his life. Figuring he has nothing to lose, he joins a local Pentecostal church, becoming well-acquainted with its eccentric community. His new Christian friends profess to know the truth to leading a happy life and are eager to try and "save" him. Yet Chuck soon learns that, among the faithful, all is not as it appears. As hope turns to disillusionment, he is forced to confront his troubled past and the existential despair that has long plagued his existence.

Part memoir, part self-improvement guide, part cautionary tale, Seven Years A Simp documents the author's journey from that of a shy, awkward coward who made women the focus of his existence to that of a man possessed of courage, purpose and autonomy. For nearly seven years, Chuck Valentine chased and pedestalised women. He was convinced he had no value as a person unless he'd earned a woman's approval and respect. Unable to get laid, he indulged in porn. He allowed women to friend-zone him and use him as a doormat. The only women he managed to attract were either crazy or highly unstable. And one time, out of desperation, he nearly paid an elderly Asian hooker to give him fellatio in a hotel bedroom. Then something changed. He stopped simping and started living.
