Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
If He's Just Not That into You told a woman how to spot a man who's not really interested in a relationship with her—and how to deal with it proactively—this follow-up is for those, male and female, who've been blindsided by a breakup after thinking Everything Is Fine. Speaking less this time from a guy's perspective and more as someone who has been dumped and survived, Behrendt tackles the often inevitable symptoms of a broken attachment: the obsessive thinking (and calling and e-mailing), the crying, the debilitating depression (and its effects on one's job performance), the crazy acting-out, the food and spending issues, the friend burnout. This time, Behrendt is aided by his wife, who offers her own breakup stories, with the two together serving as a constant reminder that one can love again. The book is padded with not-so-funny vignettes, and anecdotal letters from readers are answered in a rather wearying Dear Abby style. There's little new or insightful, but Behrendt's frankness—never too harsh—is as winning as ever, and the title is catchy. Everything is more or less in place for this burgeoning franchise.

From Booklist
Behrendt, coauthor of the wildly popular dating guide He's Just Not That into You (2004), teams up with his wife to offer a how-to guide for coping when a relationship goes south. Both Greg and his wife, Amiira, went through extremely traumatic, drawn-out breakups before finding happiness with each other, and they share the stories of what they did wrong (and what they eventually did right) as they go through the basics of how to survive a breakup: stop calling him or waiting for him to call, don't sit at home moping, avoid wearing sweats (unless exercising), and find a friend to help you through it. They also include letters seeking advice and Greg's responses to them, breakup horror stories, and "psycho confessionals," real tales of women who went too far in reacting to a breakup. The authors take a lighthearted and positive tone throughout their boisterous guide; expect demand from the many readers who made He's Just Not That into You a hit. Kristine Huntley

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy (Hardcover)
This book provided a direct but light hearted approach to suggestions of getting over a broken relationship. It gave many perspectives and thoughts that opened my eyes to what I should be focussing on instead of the "broken".

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy (Hardcover)
The authors don't try to lull you into self-pity or illusion; they give it to you straight with sassy style and edge. Every single stupid thought, question or excuse you have when you want to hold on or are simply not quite over a relationship is completely squashed - you knew you were being lame, you just needed someone to say it.The crossword puzzle ("My ex is an _____"), Psycho Confessionals and 'But Greg, I've got questions' sections are hilarious. Brilliant packaging, font and layout in a cute pint-sized book. If you need to get over him, GET IT.

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy (Hardcover)
I love this book. I found this book a few months after a devastating heartbreak and it really really helped me. I don't think I would have appreciated it as much if I read it within the week that I was dumped because I probably wouldn't be so open to listen to the suggestions and ecouragement delivered from Greg. Everyone whose heart is bigger than his/her brain and hates to let go should read this at least once. Also- the brownie recipie is FAB!
