Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This little guide for women who are trying to survive the first month after a breakup advocates some behaviors that may get you in trouble. But hey, if you know you're not going to be able to stop yourself from driving by your ex's house or calling his answering machine just to hear his voice, you may as well get them over with and get to the serious stuff. Down yet another bag of Mallomars; live through that nasty hangover; and move through the requisite phases of denial, depression, revenge fantasies, shopping sprees, and a new, drastically different haircut. You'll inevitably come to the conclusion that you're better off without him. Should you ever need reminding and emotional support (and your friends are thoroughly sick of hearing your whining and play-by-play report of your relationship's failure), turn to this book for strength.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humourously Realistic..., June 17, 2002

This review is from: The Breakup Book (Paperback)

This is NOT for a Divorce! But if your boyfriend dumped you, you'll keep this by your bed, on your desk or in your backpack. It helped and made me laugh and think!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth that much money., May 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Breakup Book (Paperback)

This, to me, is a lot of money for a few pages that are a bit quirky, but also a bit childish. I was looking for something that could be added to my library and I could pick up and get a good laugh, after a bad break-up. This does not fit my bill. I highly recommend "Exorcising your Ex" instead. Now, this book, it is a keeper, a loner, and a permanent shelf space taker-upper!! Just an opinion from a 34 yr old divorced mom with 3 kids.
