About this audiobook
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 over for a reason, and deep down inside you probably know what that reason is. It's called a breakup because it's broken, and starting today, you're not the kind of woman who settles for broken, or hangs on to damaged goods, be it a radio, a pair of shoes, or a relationship. It's time to get rid of all the broken stuff you've been lugging around for days, months, and maybe even years, and make the bold decision to start looking for stuff that works! Because the longer you stay stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on this planet to experience a great one. So open up this book, and let's dive in-our goal is to help you turn your breakup into the event that changes your life for the better in ways you never dreamed possible. It's not an end, it's a beginning! After all . . . you are a Superfox.
It's past two in the morning. You're on your third glass of wine. You're wearing his sweater because it still smells like him (and quite frankly, he never really smelled that great, but we'll give it to you). Stamp out that dumb French cigarette and put down that phone. No really, don't make that call. Why? Because you're not that girl, looking for another chance with someone who has proven himself unworthy of your greatness. You're not that girl, sitting alone with a box of tissues when a world full of possibilities waits outside her door. 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 break-over.
The co-author of the smash two-million copy bestseller He's Just Not That Into You, Greg Behrendt knows that the one thing harder than realizing he's not that into you is finding the courage to walk away from the relationship. But Greg and his co-author and wife, Amiira, also know that there's a flip side to every breakup: As dark as everything seems right now, this could be the single best thing that's ever happened to you.
It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken is 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 Amiira share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game. They give advice on:
•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
It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken gives you everything you need to get over him and make the right decisions along the way. Complete with an essential workbook to help you put the crazy down on paper and not take it out into the world, this is a straight-talking, spot-on, must-have manual for finding your way back to an even more rocking you.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Helpful and humorous
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was funny and it's nice to hear that those two made it out of the breakup blues alive and well!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book presents some solid advice for getting thru a break up in a humorous format.
It's not super scientific or super well written but it's an entertaining read. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I laughed my way through this relationship advice book for getting through breakups. The tone is blunt, quick and fast. My favorite sections were the "Psycho Confessionals" where people told stories of what they did after a break-up. It just goes to show how everyone deals with the same issues, give or take, and although hilarious, it is also filled with a lot of good advice to move on.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Look how comforting this book looks. It's fluffy blue and bright pink and has a half-eaten carton of ice cream on the cover. And it actually made me feel better, as ashamed as I am to admit it. If I had found it in the early stages of heartbreak, however, I would have probably just found it enraging. I'd say it's more suited to that bruised-but-not-bleeding stage you hit later on, when you've pulled yourself together a bit and feel up to taking advice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I went through a breakup I bought this book on a whim. It is uplifting but more importantly it made me laugh! You wouldn't think a book can actually help you heal but I felt this book helped a lot! It offers great advice about self-esteem and relationships. When someone in my family got a divorce, I just left the book on the bed in hopes she might read it and she did! I saw her smile for the 1st time in days. This is a book every woman should have because sooner or later it will be needed. It's a must-have!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A perfect breakup buddy when you're feeling all alone during a painful breakup. This book really helped me get through some rough days and gave me the strength to live life to the fullest.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5My friend Meghan recommended this book to me and it's laugh-out-loud funny in parts. It's both very sympathetic and no-nonsense--a rare combination. I'm having trouble adhering to some of its basic tenets, however I suspect that's my own fault and not the book's!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was great for a self-help book. It was funny and not condescending at all. While some advice was obvious, some others were very insightful. It helped me during difficult times.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book may well end up saving my life. And my waistline.
