5 Stars God bless this book!
This book was amazingly helpful to me during my divorce. It not only contains fantastic advice, but made me laugh at a time when I wasn’t really feeling that jovial. Put down the ice cream, pick up the book!1 Star Not what I expected
Not what I expected… Instead of making me feel better, it made me feel worse! When your heart is broken, the last thing you want to hear is “it’s called a break up because it’s broken” and “move on already!” said to you over and over again, as if it were as simple as making a sandwich!Instead of bringing the focus on yourself, and dealing gently with your heart and with pain in a constructive way, it brings more focus on the partner who “dumped” you, and what “loser” or “[...]” he is for doing this to a “super fox” (eesh!) like yourself. I highly doubt that building hate or frustration this way is of any good, just as I doubt that numerous break-up stories should make you feel better. It’s the last thing you want to hear when your heart is aching. In those moments, you’d want to deal with the pain and understand the situation, and maybe being encouraged that there are wonderful men out there, that would love to be with someone like you!
5 Stars LIfe Saver
When your are at your worst this book comes in even handier than a best friend. Stories about others who have been through it, advice about what to do and not to do, and antidotes of self confidence.5 Stars This book got me throught it!
This book is amazing. I bought this book after a six month relationship suddenly ended, and not by me! I was suffering so badly from a broken heart I thought for sure I would die!I had a huge support system but nothing would snap me out of my funk. Amazingly, after reading only half of the book,I felt so much better! Every question, scenario and fantasy you have in your head when you are in mourning is answered in here. It’s to the point , comforting , funny and empowering. I highly recommend this book if you are dwelling on a broken relationship and wasting your time on the jerk who left you.5 Stars Best break up book ever
I read recently this while going through a break up, and have since recommended it to all my friends. I was depressed over my break up and this book helped me through it. It’s geared towards women/girls who have been dumped (though there’s some in there about if you did the dumping.) There are workbook sections at the end of chapters. The book reminds you that you are a good person who will probably find someone who appreciates you, and now you are free to find that person. 5 stars.Published on October 11, 2008 · Filed under: Books;
