Even if you're in a relationship you think will last forever, you should read this book. And if you are going through a breakup, it's almost a staple. You'll learn some history of the breakup, hear stories you'll relate to and laugh out loud. I couldn't put it down!

I went thru a really tuff breakup and I had so many questions, but mostly WHY ME and HOW DARE HE? This book was really great in making me feel like the the pain of relationships is common, expected and that I am not the only one going thru these tons of negative feelings that pop up when you feel rejected and left behind. Relationships fail, thats life and this is a great book that shouts truth and gives you a good laugh when you need it most. You may not want to hear everthing the authors write about but there is so much truth in their words. Its a fresh take on all the other other books that make you feel that all love works, sometimes love isn't really love and they address that. Good Show!!!!

What a great book!! At first I thought it would be just a fun read, but it is so full of absolute truths!! It is a must read for anyone who has just broken up, and makes a great gift for the dumper. Don't ever let her think she has the upper hand!!

Oh my gosh! Soooo funny and so true! Offers the perfect counterweight to our couple-obsessed culture. (Have already ordered 3 as anti-Valentine's Day gifts ...)

I am going through a tough separation and this book has been fantastic in helping me laugh through the pain and heartbreak. (Sometimes out loud and in public) Despite the overall message that we are all doomed to fail in love and relationships, I still adore this book- it appeals to the sarcastic side of me. A must read for everyone *even if you think you are happily attached.*

This book made me laugh out loud. I just couldn't put it down. It's a great gift to share.

Witty, but nothing more. Not the best book to pick up if you're truly suffering. But it sure made me laugh. I got some great one liners out of it too. My heart is still broken, but at least I'm smiling.

We have all been the dumper. We have all been the dumpee. We all can relate to this book. While I cannot apply this book to my life at this exact moment in time (or am I just in denial, like this guide would suggest?), I can recall all of the feelings laid out in this tounge-and-cheek guide. This book had me giggling one minute and serioulsy contemplating the next. The ideas in this book are so real- its like all those things that you think in your head, but have never seen written on peper. You mean someone else feels that way too? If you just started a relationship: read it! If you just ended a relationship: read it! If you've ever been in a relationship: read it! If you ever plan to be in a relationship: read it!

I recently bought this book along with 4 others about break-ups. The positive reviews make me think I would get a good laugh out of it. It's TERRIBLE. The entire book is about how much relationships suck, what a waste of time they are, and how they are doomed from before they start. There was nothing remotely helpful or funny about this book. I actually found myself skipping entire pages because it was so negative. The last thing I needed while going through this break up was a book promoting bitterness. If you weren't depressed before you read this, you will be before you finish it (if you can finish it.) Look elsewhere if you want to actually get any benefit. "It's Called a Break-Up Because It's Broken" by Behrendt & Ruotola-Behrendt has been a good one for me. It's a little silly, but mixed with the occasional cheesy nick-name are valid points and a real plan for healing.
