"UNPUTDOWNABLE. Brava to Alisyn for being courageous enough to write this poignant and riveting memoir in full 1980s glory. I loved every second!" Elin Hilderbrand, bestselling author of 30 novels, including The Perfect Couple and Swan Song
"Combat Love is far more than an audacious coming of age story. Its a reminder that beneath a successful adults polished exterior is the wildness of youth, vulnerability and loss. Camerota shows us the hard-earned work of finding your voice. So, while you might pick up Combat Love because of the authors familiar face, you wont be able to put it down for her candor, wit, and storytelling. In an embarrassment of riches, Alisyn Camerota is as singular a writer as she is a broadcast journalist." Adrienne Brodeur, bestselling author of Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me
"A candid chronicle of hard-won survival." Kirkus Reviews
"Combat Love transcends Alisyn's personal journey to serve as a powerful reminder that our deepest wounds can become catalysts to chase our wildest dreams and seize life's opportunitiesand that confronting those wounds can lead us 'home.' And, yes, that route may be through sex, drugs, and punk rock." Stephanie Szostak, actor and author of Selfish
"Combat Love is a compelling and candid account of a time in Alisyn's youth where risk and danger were more present than security and comfort. Its a heartbreaking and raw account of living on the cusp of things going very wrong. Readers will reap the rewards of Alisyn's story of survival." Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and author of The Devil May Dance and The Hellfire Club
"Alisyn is a fantastic writer." Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author, The View from Lake Como
"Alisyns untraditional path to success is an inspiration. At sixteen she leaves home in search of her own version of family. Her story is equal parts harrowing, heartbreaking and healing. Alyssa Farah Griffin, co-host of The View, former White House Communications Director
