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. From how to put yourself through “He-tox” to how to throw yourself a kick-ass pity party, Greg and his coauthor and wife, Amiira, share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game. You will learn:
Why you shouldn’t call him—and what he’s thinking when you do
How to keep your friends and not lose your job
How to avoid breakup pitfalls: IM-ing, stalking, having sex with your ex
Reframing reality—seeing the relationship for what it was

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
Broken
This book really helped me through a difficult time. It confirmed what deep down I knew to be truth but reading it and seeing the words on the wall so to speak was invaluable. Wish my ex could read it too. It may help him through this immense time as well. Blunt, honest, supportive, and solid... Even fun. You owe it to yourself to read.
Got me thru 6 breakups
the best breakup book ever
AMAZING BOOK MUST READ
This book told me everything I already knew, but was very helpful reading it in the way it was written. Made me feel so much better about myself. While I’m still not over my breakup I definitely feel more confident and content. I am not going to let the pain make me a hermit.
