Don't go through a breakup WITHOUT THIS BOOK!

I have just had one of the strangest most "un-closed" relationship breakups in my life. There was no closure and it was all a "Maybe in the future" thing. We all know that you can't sit and wait - that's just not healthy.So i had to sit and think instead. This book kinda jumped out at me at my local waldenbooks (I never book browse, I kinda just read stuff by the same author, so this is different for me).I read the book in a matter of 3 days and I feel like it was written with my situation (as abnormal as it is) in mind. The parts of the book describing the several emotions and outlooks and the breakdown of the stages of a breakup hit it all on the nose. Elizabeth Kuster has an AMAZING flair for writing and the fact that she takes a humorous approach to a very upsetting life inevitability shows her brave and revolutionary outlook on a woman's heart.And the part about searching through the horoscopes and tarot and all that to figure out the future during a certain stage in a breakup? She could never be more correct than that.Needless to say, this book has pretty much helped me in the fight to get over my ex (it's been a month and i'm doing better!)Four thousand cheers to Ms. Kuster - an extraordinary writer!

Just the best!

Breaking up is never much fun. But this book makes some parts of it FUNNY! You'll read parts of it and say, 'oh, I did that' or whoops, better not do that. A great way to get through some tough times and look back and be thankful you're through others. Fantastic, Fun, a superb read!

Just Finished Laughing-Out-Loud & Relating Like Crazy...

The whole book is high-lighted and underlined! I am in the midst of a very difficult break-up and I felt Ms. Kuster was writing just for me. Her practical and funny advice, as well as shared testimonials from other women, tells the truth about relationships and their fall-out.I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs to laugh as well as gain some real perspective on a break-up. Even if you are between relationships, or in one, I'm sure you could relate and commiserate with this excellent book!

A *must* have for women out there!

I think every woman on the face of this earth should get this book. I am lucky to have found it a few weeks after a devestating break-up. 'Exorcising Your Ex' keeps you in good spirits as you read that there are women out there who are feeling exactly what you are feeling. You're NOT alone. This isn't a male-bashing book, but more of a self esteem boosting book for women. I enjoyed every second of reading it, and I know I'm going to read it a few more times.

Very funny - helps you laugh and move on!

This book had me laughing out loud - I read it while on the treadmill at the gym, and I'm sure people thought I was nuts. Kuster just has such a dry, blunt and accurate picture of the life a woman recovering from yet another ended relationship. The scary thing is that you can identify with a LOT of the scenarios and types of people (men) she discusses. I recommend this book for any woman who has EVER had a relationship end (IE, all women)!
