Synopsis
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.
