After a week splashing in the Gulf marshes, she realized she had been about to sign a contract to live someone else’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat if we decided to free ourselves from the traditional idea of happiness and opened ourselves to the unexpected? Hauser draws on her own experience to explore romantic relationships, heartbreaks, intimacy, and identity in the 21st century. She dissects the personalities of the protagonists of The X-Files while trying to understand what love is, recalls her worst Tinder dates, chats with strangers who talk like robots, and analyzes Katharine Hepburn in Philadelphia Story to learn how not to lose oneself in a relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny, unclassifiable, and brutally honest, this book is about how we shape our love lives and our understanding of others through stories; a read for those learning to find joy in not knowing and who try, even if they sometimes fail, to build unique forms of life, family, and home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sincere, funny, and captivating...

(...) Hauser talks about real love, what it brings, what we think we have to sacrifice, and what we learn. And she does it at a time when society needs it more than ever (...) she gets the approach right because they become a dynamic exchange in which the reader can identify the world they live in through the words on the page. That is The Crane Bride. A necessary book.” Zenda Libros\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“CJ Hauser (born around 1985 in the United States) undertakes, based on her biography, a thorough analysis of the being and the ought-to-be of identity and love.
