Greg Behrendt knows that the one thing harder than realizing he's not that into you is finding the courage to walk away from the relationship. Complete with a workbook to help you put the crazy down on paper and not take it out into the world, this is a manual for getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Superfox. In the first few days or weeks after a breakup, you need to recognize that some things can't and shouldn't be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. It's over for a reason, and deep down inside you probably know what that reason is. The goal is to help you turn your breakup into the event that changes your life for the better in ways you never dreamed possible.--From publisher description.… (more)

What a delightful book.

Although the advice this book gives primarily consists of the obvious (don't talk to your ex, take control of your life, keep moving, etc.) it is presented in a fun and amusing way that makes this book an entertaining read.

The book is formatted into two sections (1: The Break Up, 2: The Breakover) and these two sections are split into chapters that tend to consist of advice, testimonials, and then projects (journal, cooking, etc.). This is very helpful and makes for a concise and pleasurable read.

The rules that the book states in order to get your life back in order are also good and easily applicable. The important thing about this book, and one that makes this a very good self-help book, is that the book is based around helping you make better choices in relationships in the future. The people writing the book aren't gloating about their relationship, just offering tidbits. The book doesn't put you down, and just the ridiculousness of being referred to as a Superfox throughout it makes you feel pretty good. ( )

This book presents some solid advice for getting thru a break up in a humorous format.
It's not super scientific or super well written but it's an entertaining read. ( )

I laughed my way through this relationship advice book for getting through breakups. The tone is blunt, quick and fast. My favorite sections were the "Psycho Confessionals" where people told stories of what they did after a break-up. It just goes to show how everyone deals with the same issues, give or take, and although hilarious, it is also filled with a lot of good advice to move on. ( )

Look how comforting this book looks. It's fluffy blue and bright pink and has a half-eaten carton of ice cream on the cover. And it actually made me feel better, as ashamed as I am to admit it. If I had found it in the early stages of heartbreak, however, I would have probably just found it enraging. I'd say it's more suited to that bruised-but-not-bleeding stage you hit later on, when you've pulled yourself together a bit and feel up to taking advice. ( )

When I went through a breakup I bought this book on a whim. It is uplifting but more importantly it made me laugh! You wouldn't think a book can actually help you heal but I felt this book helped a lot! It offers great advice about self-esteem and relationships. When someone in my family got a divorce, I just left the book on the bed in hopes she might read it and she did! I saw her smile for the 1st time in days. This is a book every woman should have because sooner or later it will be needed. It's a must-have! ( )
