This book got me throught it! 
2008-09-19
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.
God bless this book! 2008-09-07
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!

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.
Best break up book ever 2008-08-16
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.
Not what I expected 
2008-07-11
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!

A "Must Read" for all Women!! 2008-06-15

Loved it! 2008-05-28
I was given, "He's just not that into you" after I left my ex because he couldn't commit to our relationship long-term. I recently broke up with another Man because our relationship was broken. Although I made the decision to end the relationship, and saw the writing on the wall, it was still an adjustment that caused me some mental anguish. I read the book hoping that it would inspire me to feel good, and it did just that. Some of the content is a little obvious, and I certainly didn't need those obvious questions answered, but it was truly enjoyable. If you've read "He's just not that into you" then you will not be surprised by the tone of the book. If you're reading this book because you need someone to tell you that you are in fact psycho if you are spending every waking moment stalking your ex, then maybe you need to seek some professional help!
A mean book... 2008-04-18
I thought this book was mean and harsh... If you just got your heart REALLY BROKEN don't get it. You don't need to be depressed more than you already are. It was written by a happy couple. Who wants breakup advise from a happy couple?
Every Girl Needs This Breakup Buddy! 2008-04-11
The title says it all: It's Called a Break-up Because It's Broken. As much as you want him back, it's just not in the cards or you wouldn't have split to begin with. This is hard-hitting from a now happily married couple who has truly been there; their stories will massage your ego, while taking a firm approach with your head and heart. My favorite piece of each chapter was the "Survey Says" section; it gives you that perspective that, 'Hey, I'm not the only one who has suffered here!' The most important aspect of this book, I feel, is the '60-day Hetox'. By the end of that period, you will not even remember ol' what's-his-name that wasn't good enough for you anyway. And yes, I have been there - why do you think I read it recently? ;)
