Publisher Description
Dumped is the ultimate post-breakup bible for women. In this smart, sassy, and visually fun book, authors Maryjane Fahey and Caryn Beth Rosenthal are refreshingly irreverent as they inspire women to get a “brand-spankin' new lease on life.” They also have their fabulous friends contribute their own tales from the front lines and reveal their secrets for bouncing back. The book is filled with lots of empowering (and humorous) quotations as well as practical recommendations on where to go and what to do to get your life back on track. As Michael Hogan, Executive Entertainment Editor for Huffington Post writes, “[Dumped is] far better company than your good-for-nothing ex.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After Fahey and Rosenthal both ended long-term relationships on the same Fourth of July weekend, the idea for this bawdy and comical self-help book was born. Here, the duo offers guidance and personal anecdotes to help fellow lady-folk get over break-ups. Their advice is seldom measured, tending as it does toward diatribes and panegyrics, and often screaming off the page in big and brightly colored clich s like "STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!" But perhaps they can be forgiven for their reliance on platitudes Fahey and Rosenthal are great company, and sometimes the bearers of genuine wisdom: the ladies insist on abandoning hope for closure, noting, "You're never gonna hear what you think you wanna hear." The book is also peppered with inspirational quotes from famous people ranging from Mae West to George Eliot, and is dedicated to Anne Boleyn, "the most famous dumped chick of all time." There is even fun ladies' magazine fare like pop quizzes and suggestions on books and movies to help you get over him (or her). While occasionally trite and predictable, this book will provide some much-needed smiles for readers who find themselves sobbing and newly single.
Customer Reviews
Meh.
Let’s start by saying: it isn’t worth the ten bucks. I read it in 30 minutes. It was funny and cute but honestly, it’s ‘zine style writing/graphics in a book costume.
excellent reading
this book helped me through the worst stage of a breakup. the only thing i didnt like was that is was a short reading. would've liked to enjoy it a bit more.
Don't waste your money
Took me 30 minutes to read 139 "pages" with stupid quotes and sayings. None of which were helpful. This book is a scam. Don't. Buy. It.
