You Can Never Come Back From That

What do you get when you mix tequila, raw oysters, online dating—and a pencil fish with boundary issues?

 Newly separated and wide-eyed, Shawna dives into the wild waters of Plenty of Fish and ends up on a romantic getaway to Mexico with a charming stranger named “Roy.” What starts as a steamy vacation quickly unravels into a tropical tale of digestive disaster, dick-biting fish, and one man’s desperate attempt to avoid public pool infamy.

Hilarious, unfiltered, and painfully relatable, this true story is a cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever confused chemistry for compatibility—or ignored their gut (literally).

Warning: contains tequila, sex-in-the-sea attempts, and explosive regret.
