Synopsis
Greg Behrendt, one of the coauthors of the smash-hit dating reality check HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, is back (this time with his wife, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt) to deliver both the snark and the backpats that one desperately requires after an apparently dream relationship has come to a bitter and entirely unexpected end. Anecdotes, advice, and the necessary kick in the rear assist the brokenhearted to recover from the pain, avoid the most common post-breakup pitfalls, and finally, move on and become an eminently dateable person again.

Publisher's Note
When Greg Behrendt–comedian and consultant to Sex and the City–laid out the truth about men’s “mixed signals” (the truth being that there’s no such thing), millions of women found themselves liberated. But knowing a guy’s not that into her doesn’t mean a woman is not going to be hurt. Now, for every woman who’s had her heart broken, Greg and his coauthor-wife, Amiira, offer It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken–a must-have survival guide for getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner SuperFox.
This hilarious and helpful book covers everything from how to pull the plug on a relationship and make it stick, to proven remedies for uncontrollable crying, to how to act the first time you see him with another woman. Divided into two parts–Get Over It and Get On with It–chapters include:
• There Are No New Messages, so stop checking your
machine–and his!–every five minutes
• He’s Not Hiding at the Bottom of That Pint of Ice Cream
• What’s He Thinking? Who cares? But Greg and Amiira
respect the need to obsess, so here’s a chapter of indulgence
• If It Was So Great, You'd Still Be Together: seeing the
reality for what it was
• Revenge Is a Dish Best Served HOT! So get out of your pajamas,
start taking care of yourself, and find your way back to an even
more rocking you
Plus: an essential workbook, so you can put the crazy stuff down
on paper instead of inflicting it on the world.
Before finding each other, Greg and Amiira had been there, too, and found their way out of the darkness. Now they’ve come back with a flashlight and a helping hand. It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken is more than the ultimate reference guide to the dissolution of a relationship. It’s the voice of encouragement that you need to turn your breakup into a break-over, and get a jump on the brighter romantic future that awaits.
