Four Men.
Manic Highs.
Crushing Lows.

Fifteen years of loving through madness at the mercy of undiagnosed Bipolar I disorder.

In Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir, Louise is consumed by four turbulent romantic relationships. When she returns home after college graduation, a single impulsive decision sets in motion the compounding chaos and allure of each love story-igniting in seduction and collapsing in disillusionment.

Enter Marco, a married restaurant owner with ties to the Italian Mafia. She never once says no. On the heels of his cancer diagnosis, desperate to attach, she says "I Do" to Jim, though he loved beer, blow, and Mary Jane more. Entangled in his boyish baby blues, Luke promises her everything she's ever wanted, including baby Lily. And finally, she hurls herself 1,400 miles for Patrick, the undeniable villain of her story.

Unflinchingly honest, Tainted Love confronts the brutal complexities of the human mind. In the end, the noise fades, the mask lifts, and something radical is discovered: untainted love.
A soul-stirring, emotionally arresting coming-of-age memoir where mental illness and identity collide with failed love and single motherhood, Tainted Love will resonate with book clubs and readers of Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen, Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, We Are the Luckiest by Laura McKowen, and My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell.

Über den Autor
Louise Barnett is the author of Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir and host of the I'm Bipolar. Now What? podcast. Diagnosed with Bipolar I after years of misdiagnosis, manic highs, crushing lows, addiction, and self-destruction, Louise now tells the stories most people are afraid to say out loud. Sober since 2021 and a Jay Shetty-certified life coach, she brings lived experience, humor, vulnerability, and zero interest in sugarcoating the realities of mental illness. Through her community of more than 100,000 people, Louise challenges stigmas surrounding bipolar disorder and proves that recovery can be messy, imperfect, and still extraordinary.
