They came with charm, promises, and potential, but left behind heartbreak and hard lessons. After an eleven-year marriage and a leap back into the unpredictable world of modern dating, Clarissa thought she was ready for anything. Only to discover that modern love comes with plot twists, power games, and a whole lot of profiles that should come with warning labels. What followed were situationships, love bombs, and gaslighting disguised as affection.

Part memoir, part relationship guide, Played No More is a raw, honest, and often hilarious memoir that chronicles the real-life dating misadventures that shaped one woman's journey back to herself. From the smooth-talking promoters to the financially flashy manipulators and yes, even the ones still emotionally tethered to mama- Clarissa unpacks each chapter with wit, reflection, and hard-earned wisdom. It explores what happens when dating becomes a minefield of lessons in disguise.

This collection isn't just about being played. It's about waking up, healing up, and glowing up. Whether you're healing, dating, or just here for the tea, this book will make you laugh, cringe, and most of all- think twice before swiping right. It's your reminder that the best love begins with you.
