Publisher Description
There’s no doubt about it—breakups suck. But in the first few hours or weeks that follow, there’s one important truth you need to recognize: Some things can’t and shouldn’t be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. It’s called a breakup because it’s broken, and starting right here, right now, it’s time to dry your tears, put down that pint of ice cream, log out of his email, and open this book to chapter one—and start turning your breakup into a breakover.
From Greg Behrendt, coauthor of the smash, two-million-copy bestseller He’s Just Not That Into You, comes It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken—the ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Superfox.

How to keep your friends and not lose your job
How to avoid breakup pitfalls: IM-ing, stalking, having sex with your ex

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.
Customer Reviews
Helpful
Going through a on and off again relationship is a definite need of this book. I gained a lot of perspectives I wasn't able to see or simply chose to over look. A lot of this book made me cry and some of it gave me several epiphanies.
The authors give you stories of themselves and of other experiences you can relate to and to show you, it could've been worse. They build you up to be a confidant, self loving person and remind you that if that other person was able to do what they did - then they didn't deserve you. You will grow a tremendous amount of maturity after reading this book.
Over all, a wonderful book I'll always turn to for myself and the people around me.
