She started a blog called Breakup Babe in the summer of 2002 to vent about a horrible breakup and to chronicle her dating adventures. The blog attracted a lot of fans, and her blogging experience became the genesis of her autobiographical novel, BreakupBabe, which was published in 2006 by Ballantine Books. The novel's protagonist finds that blogging gets her into some big trouble but, by connecting her with lots of eager fans, it also helps her regain self-confidence and purpose.
