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, or sitting alone with a box of tissues while a world full of possibilities waits outside your door. 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, pop in this CD, and start turning your breakup into a break-over. 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 avoid Revisionist Romance Disorder, Greg and Amiira share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game. The longer you stay stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on this planet to experience a great one. IT'S CALLED A BREAKUP BECAUSE IT'S BROKEN is a straight-talking, spot-on, must-have manual for finding your way back to an even more rocking you.

"This book was recommended by my therapist when I was going through a painful breakup. There are things in it that are harsh, but they were all things I needed to hear. I HATE this book...but it helps, it really does. I never thought I'd have to pull it off the shelf again, but here I am, back amongst its pages. And it's helping. Again. If you've been crushed by the end of a relationship, READ THIS BOOK!"

" I LOVED this book! It's soooo funny! Oh and very true! "
— Kim, 2/10/2014" Best breakup book ever! Especially if accompanied with John Mayer's 'Continuum'. "
— Heather, 2/9/2014" Was curious and it was very lame and annoying! "
— Rachel, 2/8/2014" Great book...funny and to the point. A must read for a broken heart. "
— Alysia, 2/4/2014" This book made me laugh a lot and I actually think it made sense. Very quotable. "
— Maya, 1/31/2014" Not quite as fabulous as Greg's "He's Just Not That Into You" but still full of some nuggets of wisdom. "
— Janet, 1/9/2014" Another classic Greg book. Even though I haven't broken up with too many people in the past 26 years, I'll still pick it up again and re-read it. Great stuff. "
— Kate, 1/8/2014" Not rocket science but entertaining. I liked the emphasis on self-care rather than fulfledged craziness. "
— Justine, 1/6/2014" It was ok. I learned to just let shit go. "
— Jaba, 12/24/2013" Yes, I know, it's a silly self-help book, but honestly it was a fun, quick, easy read. Many of my girlfriends who have gone through recent break-ups found it helpful for moving on and not falling into the relapse trap of relationships-gone-bad. "
