Review: GREAT BOOK FOR GETTING OVER BREAKING UP - Before I review this book...I would like to get a major pet peeve off my chest. I read some of the reviews before I started writing this and came across a review where the person had not read the whole book yet wrote a review. I would like to say that a review is where you read the WHOLE BOOK and then criticize it all you like...not read it halfway through and feel that writing a review is credible. It is not. The point of a review is to offer up your point of view which is not possible if you haven't read the whole book. Now that I have said that...I thought this book was terrific. Whether you dislike Greg using the word Superfox or not...the book was insightful, funny, compassionate and didn't offer the same platitudes or psychobabble that one encounters in other books of this genre. Greg and Amiira did not write this book from some lofty ivory tower. They have been in the trenches like a lot uf us. Greg drank and chased after his ex until he finally saw the light at the end of a very long tunnel and got into AA. Amiira was married and while not as destructive as Greg...her pain, misery [and sleepless nights] are nearly as poignant as Greg's. I have read this book three times and found something new to hold on to each time I read it. Some of the elements I particularly liked in this book start with the questions to Greg and his answers...sometimes tart ["how about pretending not to be completey crazy" he says to one woman in the throes of...well..acting completely crazy] were always enlightening. I also enjoyed "The Best Worst News", and "What I Did Wrong" where Greg and Amiira share...what they did wrong. "Psycho Confessionals" was actually great fun to read because while a lot of us have gone off the deep end when we are going through a break up...not all of us have gone to the extent some of these women have. I have offered up a silent prayer of thanks that while I thought I might go nuts...I never showed up at his door acting like it. One very smart idea that Greg and Amiira came up with was after giving advice on what you should do in the recovery proces... and while you are in the midst of moaning to yourself that you can't possibly do that...they offer up "How The Hell Am I Supposed To Do That" because they understand exactly how hard it is. My story ends a little differently because my boyfriend and I actually got back together. But here is where the book is a treasure for another reason. Instead of spending my time when I am not with my boyfriend...obsessing about my boyfriend [something I have done in every past relationship] I am using all the breakup rules they have as if we had really broken up and have re-connected with old friends...started exercising again and am completely re-organizing my life...all off which had fallen completely by the wayside as my concentration was centered around him. If my boyfriend and I had not gotten back together...I would have been able to handle it without going completely to pieces [after I initially went completely to pieces] and the fact that we have gotten back together...I am now handling the relationship and my life differently...thanks to this book. In my opinion...this is the definitive book on breaking up and I would like to thank both Greg and Amiira for helping me tremendously both during during the break up and how I have handled myself since. So to my surprise...this book actually works on more then one level.
Review: Keep your dignity and laugh! - I read this book when my husband and I were just dating and he broke up with me. I was devastated. But I bought it and followed the advice and certainly most people are not going to get back together but the advice that the book gives is immeasurable and I have purchased it now I think 11 times for 11 friends and they have all been extremely thankful. It doesn’t matter whether you’re getting back together or not what matters is your dignity and this book is fabulous. Many years later it is still a fabulous book with excellent advice! And it’s funny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BOOK FOR GETTING OVER BREAKING UP

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Encouraging!
*by D***A on September 1, 2014*

I was hesitant about whether I'd actually enjoy this book based on some of the reviewers, but I was pleasantly surprised! I went through a breakup earlier this year that broke my heart, and I pretty much chased him for the last 5 months to no avail. I think our continued hangouts helped create a better foundation, but it didn't get me what I wanted in the end...him. I wanted to read something to help me put things in perspective about my thoughts, potentially his thoughts and what one must do to move on. I wanted something fun and cheerful, and this definitely delivered! One of the most important aspects of this book is the authors's honest accounts of their own experiences. I felt like they were giving us their complete selves when describing their heartache and mindset, and I totally appreciated that. They really want you to understand that they get it. They get that this is very difficult-- that you don't understand why this is happening to you, you were blindsided, he acted like everything was OK, why did he act like everything was OK, could I have changed anything, can I win him back..? Etc, etc. We all have those questions rolling around in our heads that drive us bonkers. This book does not take away from the actual pain that we feel after learning we no longer have that one person we cherish so much. SO! They detail some encouraging and practical advice on how to work on ourselves while going through the pain. No one is telling you harshly to get over it...but reminding you that you'll get through it! You'll also get additional stories from other readers that will remind you that the experience could have been worse..LOL I laughed a few times while reading, and I felt refreshed and motivated once I'd completed this book. It's still hard, but it's nice to know I can read words of encouragement when I'm feeling blue. Let us smile! :)
