Customer Reviews

Breaking up is hard to do...NOT

This book really helped me through a ridiculous rough spot in my life. You wouldn't think a tiny little book could do that...but the advice is priceless and empowering. Frickin' amazing. I've lent it to all my chicas...like twice. As long as there are stoopid boyz...i am keeping this book around...so i guess i am like keeping it foreva!

A big help.

My mom gave me this book after I broke up with my boyfriend. At first I didn't want to read it -- I didn't feel like taking any advice at the time -- but she kept asking me if I'd liked it. I finally read it and am so glad I did! It got me laughing again and looking past all that I was going through. The author is really funny, and you can tell she is giving advice from her heart, which is so helpful when you need someone to relate to. I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs to get back on track after a breakup.

thank you diane...

i am in high school. when my boyfriend of three years broke up with me a few months ago i was devestated. i thought my world was over. i felt like a part of me was empty and dead. my mom bought me this book (and a lot of ice cream)...and somehow now i feel better. everyone kept giving me advice, but it wasn't working. the fact that there is a book out there like this is wonderful. it really helped me a lot. things like this take a while and i am not completely over it, but soon i will be.

if you are a girl....

if you are a girl you will really appreciate this book. it was given to me right after my boyfriend of 3 years decided to dump me. it made me laugh when i felt like crying. such a sweet gift to give to someone when you know they are going through a hard time.

Great book

This is the second book that I have read by Diane Mastromarino and she is a wonderful author for teenage girls. I run a girls group in NY and this book offers great advice and funny anecdotes to teenagers who are going through a breakup. It is very helpful for teenagers to be able to relate to eachother and this book shows them that they are in good company of many other girls that have gone through breakups. I recommend this book to all teenage girls, parents, or helping professionals that work with teenage girls.
