The Ice Cream Theory

Steff Deschenes first hatched her ice cream theory when she was sixteen and in the throes of that singular, devastating phenomenon known as first heartbreak. In the midst of her grief, she realized that, in the same way humans have ice-cream preferences, humans have people preferences. Like ice cream flavors, social preferences shift based on age, experience, even mood. There are exotic flavors that one craves when feeling daring, comforting flavors to fall back on, flavors long-enjoyed that eventually wear out their welcome, and those unique flavors that require an acquired taste. Like people, no ice cream flavor is perfect every single time'¦and it is in this realization that the crux of Deschenes's theory lies. The Ice Cream Theory celebrates the variety of life, a charming 'œmockumentary'� that makes a light-hearted addition to any self-help bookshelf. It's a must-read for anyone bruised by life's tough lessons and in need of a cheerful pick-me-up.
