Trish Ryan was the quintessential successful thirtysomething woman -- she had a career as an attorney, a nice car, and a succession of men clamoring for her affection. But despite all her accomplishments, the things by which she defined her life continually left her disappointed, especially when it came to dating. Like the heroines of chick-lit novels and Sex and the City, she couldn't escape her bad luck with men: men who cheated, who left her, who made her a lesser version of herself. After years of trying everything out there to make love work -- new age philosophy, feminist empowerment, myriad self-help programs -- she finally, hesitantly, decided to give God a try.This is Ryan's story of how her search for the right guy turned into the search for the right God, and (spoiler alert!) how she ended up with the happily-ever-after ending.

Advance praise for He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not:
 

"Trish Ryan gives readers a literary two-for-one deal that is hard to resist.  Her simultaneous quests for the right guy and the right spiritual path are funny, moving, disarmingly frank and ultimately uplifting.  Each makes a great tale, but together, her cup runneth over."
– A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of
The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically
 
 
"With a candid, earthy approach that’s reminiscent of Anne Lamott and Eat, Pray, Love’s Elizabeth Gilbert, Trish Ryan vividly addresses the trials of love and heartache...her refreshing honesty makes He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not a journey worth taking whether you’ve already found Mr. or Ms. Right or not."  
– Christa Banister
 
 
"Poignant, honest, and intriguing…this book is for anyone who longs to experience the abundance, joy, and peace that only comes through a relationship with the one true God of the universe.” 
– Denise Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of

"Trish Ryan is a woman on a search.  She’s honest, vulnerable, funny and frank and simply will not settle for a life without greater meaning or a man without a generous heart.  Her story will connect with all those who quest for true love and a great purpose or pattern for the way they live their lives.” 
– Margaret Sartor, New York Times bestselling author of Miss American Pie:
A Diary of Love, Secrets, and Growing up in the 1970s

 

 

"This is one riveting story.  Like many people, I can identify with what it feels like to look in all the wrong places—and then realize down the road that God has been writing a story that is so much bigger and better that I could have ever imagined.  It’s not often that someone can make me read into the wee hours—and then laugh so hard that I wake my poor husband up from a sound sleep.”
