5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to relate to, great advice, & great analysis on ex's., November 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Over Him: Cosmo's Complete Break-Up Survival Handbook (Cosmopolitan) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second time my boyfriend has left me. The first time he left me for someone else and this time he claims that he doesn't want to be with me yet he doesn't want to loose me. This book has made me open my eyes and see what he's really doing. I can really relate to this book. I just wish i had it the first time he left me so i could have saved myself from this second heartbreak. I'm still on anti-depressants from the first breakup which happened a year and a half ago. This book has made me really believe that there is life after a bad break up and it made me realize that it is time to move on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical Guide For Anyone Suffering From A Broken Heart, October 3, 1999

When I broke up with my boyfriend, I bought every self help book out there, and I mean EVERY one of them. This book was one the few that actually helped me. The advice is practical, and the author seems to know how to hit home. She knows you're hurting and want to call him, or do a drive by(minus the bullets hopefully!) I found that highlighting the passages that pertain to your pain, then going over it really helps. I'm not over my heartache yet, but this book really helps me. Don't let the word "Cosmo" mislead you into thinking this is just fluff, it's not. I'm a mature woman, and I found this book extremely helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a Band-Aid for your broken heart!, December 29, 1997

Anyone who is getting over a breakup needs this book. It is full of real-life anecdotes and invaluable pointers, and reads like your best friend or big sis wrote it. Elizabeth Hurchalla is right on in every single area mainly because SHE'S BEEN THERE. She's not some 60-year-old trying to give "modern" advice. On the contrary, she's a girl of the '90s who tells you straight up how to deal in every stage of your breakup. You'll save yourself a lot of money in therapy by buying this book, trust me! It will be the best six bucks you've ever spent.
