Product Description
There’s no doubt about it—breakups suck. But in the first few hours or days 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 e-mail, and open this book to Chapter One–and start turning your breakup into a breakover.

From Greg Behrendt, the co-author 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 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: IMing, stalking, having sex with your ex
• Reframing reality—seeing the relationship for what it was
• How to transform yourself into a hot, happening Superfox and get a jump on the better, brighter future that awaits

Complete with an essential workbook to help you put the crazy down on paper and not take it out into the world, It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken is a must-have manual for finding your way back to an even more rocking you.

Awesome! November 14, 2008
This is the most amazing book for anyone suffering from a breakup. It addresses every type of situation so that nearly everyone can relate. My roommate gave me this book to read after my boyfriend of a year and a half dumped me. I went from feeling at the lowest in my life to feeling empowered and determined. I can't say enough good things about the book!

more painful listening than a break-up October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This review refers to the audiobook version. This book is narrated by the authors--a smug married couple that sound like a high-energy pair of camp counselors, all grins and thumbs-up, like in that Adams Family movie sequel. With its unrealistic scenarios and failed attempts at humor, It's Called a Breakup Because it's Broken is crammed with cringe-inducing moments. The speed-talking authors blurt out pun after painful pun, never expressing any actual compassion in their voices. You, the listener, are consistently and overenthusiastically referred to as a "superfox!" There is an actual list of things to do instead of calling your ex, which include such gems as: "have coffee with a friend" and "put on your favorite CD and dance around in your room in your underwear..." And if you haven't felt patronized enough by that, the authors' advice to the broken-hearted who are going through a period of heavier-than-usual boozing is: join Alcoholics Anonymous! I'm trying to listen to this to the end, because after all I've paid for it, but 75% of the way through, I can bear no more. In short, It's Called a Breakup Because it's Broken is poorly written, badly narrated, and god-awful corny. This book will only ADD to the pain of your breakup.

A MUST-HAVE for any girl! October 18, 2008
I can't tell you how many times I've read this book over and over again. It's a gem, and there is truly nothing like it. Funny, fast-paced and realistic, this will get you through even the most devastating of break ups... and you'll have fun doing it! Very empowering. Simply a must-have. :)

This book got me throught it! September 19, 2008

This book is amazing. I bought this book after a six month relationship suddenly ended, and not by me! I was suffering so badly from a broken heart I thought for sure I would die!I had a huge support system but nothing would snap me out of my funk. Amazingly, after reading only half of the book,I felt so much better! Every question, scenario and fantasy you have in your head when you are in mourning is answered in here. It's to the point , comforting , funny and empowering. I highly recommend this book if you are dwelling on a broken relationship and wasting your time on the jerk who left you.

God bless this book! September 7, 2008
This book was amazingly helpful to me during my divorce. It not only contains fantastic advice, but made me laugh at a time when I wasn't really feeling that jovial. Put down the ice cream, pick up the book!
