Review

'It's funny, it's snappy and it's very positive.' Richard & Judy

‘For those who simply wish to get on with their lives in a sensible, pain-free fashion, this book has much to recommend it… I can think of few better companions to have stationed by the bed or telephone.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘You can laugh at a sentence like “Idle hands are the devil’s text messengers” and be heartened that there is life post-breakup…you’ll also find insightful, been-there-have-the-scars-to-prove-it wisdom.’ New York Post

‘You will get through this, and you’ll do it faster with the help of It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken.’ Glamour

Praise for ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’:

‘My dating bible.’ Now

‘The publishing sensation of the year.’ Daily Telegraph

‘A new dating book, HJNTIY, is taking Britain by storm – The book cuts to the core of men's behaviour.’ Daily Mail

‘Do move on! And stop making excuses for deadbeat, flaky guys, say two former “Sex and the City” staffers in thier new book.’ Glamour

Product Description

The latest book by Greg Behrendt, author of the multi-million plus copy bestseller ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’, is another hilarious, wry and wise take on relationships and how to move on when one goes sour.

‘He's Just Not That Into You’ is more than a book. It's a revolution. The phrase, coined by Behrendt for an episode of ‘Sex and the City’, has now entered the language: it features in ads, it’s referred to in newspaper headlines and it has spawned spin-off spoof books and more.

‘It's Called A Break-up Because It’s Broken’ promises to do this and more. It will help you get over anyone and move on. Behrendt's voice is unique – combining tell-it-like-it-is advice with humour and the 'guy's eye view'. The book is filled with solid advice to help you let go of your ex – for example: 'It's 3 am, the bottle of wine is empty, do you really want to make that call?'

Each insightful chapter is complemented with a Q-and-A with Greg on what he's thinking, case studies, and games. Greg and Amiira tackle tough issues such as break-up sex, how not to lose your friends during a break-up, and 10 great places to cry. It's the ultimate read and reference for anyone who has ever been in a relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for girls, 11 Aug 2009

Ben Kelly (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy (Paperback)
Ok. So I'm a bloke but I bought a book that was written for girls.

But EVERYTHING in it is also applicable to the other gender; the one that's meant to shrug it off, be macho, and just get on with it. Trouble is, if you're a guy and you're really honest with yourself, you'll know that life doesn't always work like that.

This was recommended to me by a friend after I had been dumped by someone who had asked me to marry her, someone who I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, and someone who then promptly left me and went back to her ex...

I'd lost the love of their life and didn't know how to continue. It hurt a hell of a lot, more than any physical pain I'd ever experienced. Even ten months later I'm only just beginning to get over it. But I wish I'd read this book at the start. Not only does it set out in a very clear manner what the do's and don'ts are in such a situation (unfortunately I went through the majority of the don'ts and made it a lot worse), it's also really quirky, funny and uplifting. If you're a bloke, simply replace the `him' that's dumped you to the `her', and you're there.

I often think that `if she can get back with her ex, then she can get back with me'. It hasn't happened. It won't happen.

It's called a Breakup because it's Broken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, oh god, for this book, 11 May 2009

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy (Paperback)
When I started reading this book, I thought I was going to die of a broken heart. I didn't know what to do with myself. If I hadn't read it, I'm fairly sure I'd still be walking past my ex's house in foxy outfits, posting pictures of myself looking hot for him to see on FB, 'innocently' emailing him about pointless things in the pathetic hope that he might change his mind and beg me to come back. The book helped me walk away with my head held high. It helped me stop hyperventilating and it made me laugh. It's such a kind, honest, supportive book written with genuine empathy from two people who have been to hell and back. I baulked at the American phrases at times but they are a small price to pay for such a well-thought out , humorous, honest and uplifting read. If you are in ANY DOUBT as to whether this book will help you - stop even wasting your time reading my review. Buy it now!

This review is from: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy (Paperback)
I have to agree with previous reviews, but really. After buying this book and reading it from cover to cover, i just can't recommend it enough. The thing is...i dont 'do' self help books. Generally, i have the opinion that they are a load of rubbish!! HOWEVER, seriously, this book will be like the light at the end of the tunnel. I too consider myself a smart girl, i don't suffer fools gladly, but i went through a break up from the love of my life. I just couldn't get over it. In my heart, even though knew that there were things wrong with the relationship, still, i had trouble accepting it. This is where this book is great. It points out the obvious!! The relationship was broken!! You know, its not until you listen to the authors personal experiences, or the absolute sense they are making about the situation that you suddenly realise. The authors are not at all patronising like i expected, and you'll read it and recognise yourself!! Honestly, if you have a broken heart, and you only ever buy one 'self help' book. Get this one!!
