If you have ever been in a relationship & that person is leaving said realtionship--then just breathe; your world will turn upside down..

You are catatonically stunned by disbelief because he is out the door, gone.
How Mr Wonderful left the scene or pretended not to really leave, he left & life will suck. Read this book and gift it to your friends. Suzanne Finnamore’s wit is again laugh out loud and factual.

Soldier on, this is a must read for anyone who has had a relationship break-up or divorce. show less
