Though this book is graphically interesting (spiral bound, die-cut corners, colorful, cool illustrations), the meat of the book leaves a lot to be desired. This in no way will help you get over anyone - it will merely give you a few laughs. If it is suppose to be a guided journal, it falls short. The authors only leave about five lines per entry to write your thoughts and / or responses - not nearly enough for someone who really needs a good purge. It was a total waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

If you're looking for a similar book, I'd suggest "The Breakup Diary." I bought both of them and - though it seems that "The Rebound Journal" borrows much of its content from "The Breakup Diary" (the Breakup Diary came out more than a year earlier) - "The Breakup Diary" is a lot more thorough and helpful.

Also, you might want to consider buying your own blank journal and checking out "How to Survive the Loss of a Love," or "Letting Go." Both helped me IMMENSELY. "Letting Go" has a lot of great exercises that really helped me get over my ex. If you're looking for a funny book, I'd get "A Girl's Guide to Surviving a Breakup."

Just an opinion from a girl recently going through a breakup.

Unlike a lot of the other breakup advice books out there (and I've tried a lot of 'em!), this book actually works. It's smart and funny, and instead of making you bitter at your ex, it helps you focus on how wonderful, intelligent, desirable, and witty YOU are. And that attitude is far more healthy and conducive to getting over your ex than sitting around moping! I've been recommending this book to all my girlfriends.

Breakup blues be gone! I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. This book is full of smarts and wit without the usual tiresome references of crying into a pint of Hagen Das. It's worth breaking up just to read!

Breaking up just got a whole lot better. This journal helps put the spunk back in your step and the confidence in your dance moves. And, -- it's the best gift to cure a broken heart.

Fun to read, I recommend it to newly single babes everywhere.
