Customer Reviews

so much fun!

I was going thru a particularly hard breakup. If you would have told me that drinking castor oil would have gotten him out of my system-- I would have bought a case. So when I got this book I didnt expect much, but it actually made me guffaw out loud with laughter! It gave some great tidbits and made me smile. Will this tell you something that you might not already know? No. But it will lessen the sting and put a little swing in your step. good luck!

bitter bite

Just when I thought I'd never laugh again the bittergirls came to the rescue! The bittergirls made me laugh out loud, asked some great questions and made me think long and hard about this break-up. Best advice for me? Relationship Mythology - don't make him better than he was. He's a guy. Not a superhero. Thanks bittergirls.

good stuff to know, for a guy

Best thing I've read about how to NOT enter into a breakup. Funny and biting and, according to the women I know who've read it, oh so true.

Empowering and fun!

What a great read - the best laugh in a long time. No matter what stage of life you're at you can relate to the hillarious and very real antics and moments caught and brought to life by the Bittergirls. A nice reminder that getting dumped is something that eventually each of us can learn from and more importantly laugh about.

funny, smart, totally therapeutic, saved my life

I recently got dumped and fortunately found this book. Witty, very funny, smart and full of great excercises, this helped me glide through the first month of a very painful, humiliating break up...or at least appear to. I'm heading into the second month and can admit to myself that okay, it's still painful, and I still have some growing to do. But I know I'm well on my way to much better. This week I bought Greg Behrendt's It's a Break Up Because it's Broken, just to see to see if there was anything new. There a few things, but frankly Bittergirl is way funnier, intelligent and helpful. Buy this, browse Behrendt's in the bookstore...and you may actually enjoy your break up.
