Breakup Girl to the Rescue [Abridged, Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Lynn Harris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 22, 2000

Meet the Ann Landers for the contemporary and hip. In Breakup Girl to the Rescue, Lynn Harris continues to dispense the special blend of contemporary wisdom and wacky humor she introduced in He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not. Superhero Breakup Girl offers the intelligence, laughter and salve needed for those impossible moments when relationships fail and hearts falter. She is an equal opportunity adviser who speaks to the jilters and the jilted of both genders, all ages, all sexual preferences, all political persuasions and all phases of attachment.

Using letters sent by readers to her enormously popular website, Harris defines the high and low roads for ending a relationship. "Breakup Girl Live" is an acclaimed monthly variety show at New York City's Gotham Comedy Club. A fun, zesty offering for the very hip—or the hip at heart.

Editorial Reviews

Review

She's faster than a snail-mail Valentine, sassier than the average superhero, and can mend a broken heart with as single quip.

This review is from: Breakup Girl to the Rescue!: A Superhero's Guide to Love, and Lack Thereof (Paperback)

As a person who's been dumped and been involved with way too many artistic moody types, this is a great book to read to reassure yourself that you aren't the one who is nuts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip, funny, and oh so true (and great advice too!), February 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakup Girl to the Rescue!: A Superhero's Guide to Love, and Lack Thereof (Paperback)

One of the joys of looking through this very funny book, besides the generous, knowing, and very helpful relationship advice, is seeing yourself and your friends reflected in letter after letter, page after page. It's funny because it's all true--all of these things probably happened to you or someone you know one time or another, and you really identify with the plights of the real people asking Breakup Girl for her witty help. There's loads of helpful words to soothe you through any problems in any stage of a relationship, and enough really great stuff to keep you highly entertained throughout the rest of the book. And hey, an original Breakup Girl comic adventure to boot!
