I happened to read this book after I had been in a "bad relationship" with a terrible job, and was in the process of starting over and trying to find a better position - something that I would be with for a long, satisfying time. I found all of the steps (slightly modified to fit the content, obviously), to help me heal from my past job experiences and to have the self-confidence and chutspa to go out and land the job of my dreams. This book isn't just about learning to heal from a bad relationship, it is about remembering how none of us deserve to be mistreated in the first place. Thanks, Ms. Miller - your book changed my life!

Loved, loved, loved this little pink book! After spending TWO VERY PAINFUL YEARS "Getting Over Him". I picked up this little gem and read it in one sitting. I made an oath to send it to every girlfriend who is faced with an unhappy ending. Girls, be a great girlfriend, stick with these ten steps - preach these ten steps and you might be astonished how quickly our hearts will mend, and open us up to the love we've always dreamed of. This isn't hype, this book is the best girlfriend you can have in a heart-breaking emergency! Sandra's witty, heart-to-heart, truthful and poignant steps...will set you free! GIRLFRIEND'S GUIDE TO GETTING OVER HIM...RULES!

There's nothing like a good dose of truth and logic, wrapped up nicely with witty and appropriate analogies, to get you moving on with your life after a break up. Ms. Miller provides an easy-to-read-and-understand guide for accepting reality and not wasting time "what-iffing" a situation that wasn't meant to be. Her sense of humor is warm and her advice is so sensible it's impossible to ignore!

This is a fun, but so painfully true, book. It is very short.. You can read it in less than an hour. It is very funny but very good.

It flat out tells you what to do and what not to do when you're having those moments of missing him so much. I had to laugh out loud when it said "Do not create a folder on your ipod of songs from the soundtrack of your relationship." LOL I actually already had a folder on my ipod called Soundtrack and it was exactly that.. songs about us or that we had listened to etc...

It also told me not to write that farewell email/letter summing everything up and pointing out all the wrongs that had been done.. the whole time I read that section I thought "oh crap, I already wrote it and sent it" then the next page said "but what if you already wrote it and sent it?" LOL

Great book.

Whether you've been "dumped" by a boyfriend or husband. "A Girlfriends Guide to Getting Over Him" hits the target. At 70, I wish her book was available 15 years ago during my divorce. I read it, loved it, and sent a copy to a friend who is going through it. Thanks Sandra for such a great tool.

This book is way over priced. There are to many blank pages, half full pages, and large print to make the book look like it is larger than it is. The subject is good and written well but not worth $14.95.

So my boyfriend broke up with me. I am really struggling and resorted to looking on amazon for silly self-help books and what not. I ended up ordering quite a few and received this one first. It's just a short, funny, true little book about how you feel and what you should do after a gut-wrenching break-up. The way it is written is great. I smiled and giggled a lot since I saw myself in the text quite often. It takes your behavior and feelings and thoughts and explains it perfectly. It definitely makes you feel like you aren't alone. Definitely a good read for someone who is confused and in pain after losing someone special.

Thank heaven for Sandra's book. Celebrate and Cheer with an apple martini...finally author Sandra Miller has launched a most practical guide for getting over him. A must read for every woman regardless of relationship status.

I appreciate her blunt honesty and witty humor a perfect combination of strength and compassion. Sometimes we need to laugh at ourselves after we've learned these lessons (steps). Sometimes we need to hear these truths (steps) from friends and other times we need to speak these truths to friends who are in the midst of any one of these steps. This book helps to "couch" the honesty of perspective.

You know the saying...friends are like bras, close to your heart and always there for support. So show your support for the sisterhood by buying two copies one for you and one for a friend. You will laugh and cry at the "truth" between the covers...Sandra nails it!

This book was perfect. Its not groundbreaking or anything, seeing as it offers the same kind of advice a good friend or even your mother would give you after a break up (if you are lucky enough to have a person in your life to offer such loving advice). But this book does put break up advice in a fun different prespective, which is very helpful when trying to get over that "i just got dumped" feeling. The book is super easy and very fun to read and isnt too long, which is a major plus because it allows for re-reading.

During my first read, I enjoyed Sandra's common sense advice and the strong, big sisterly way she doles it out. I read it, I heeded it...and I initially felt that it was a bit skimpy in the amount of content. When finished, I nearly placed the book in my used book swap pile, but decided to hang on to it in case I needed a swift kick again.

Since then, I've paged through it 3 times, and each time it has put sense back into my head and *stopped* me from backsliding. There's nothing like having this sensible, quick read sitting nearby when you need it most - like around 10 p.m. when you've got the flu and decide that it would be the perfect excuse to call the ex for sympathy.

Thanks, Sandra, for the tough love. We're listening!
