Editorial Review:

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 called a breakup because it's broken, and 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, and open this book to Chapter One-and start turning your breakup into a breakover.
From Greg Behrendt, the co-author of the smash two-million copy bestseller He's Just Not That Into You, comes It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken--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 his wife, Amiira, share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game. You will learn:
· 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

Funny but true:

It looks like froth, but actually I found this book surprisingly useful after re-entering the dating game following the end of a 12-year marriage and feeling pretty clueless.

Changed my life:

of the breakover, I think that it is time that I expressed my gratitude.
This book has changed by life. I wish that I could think of a more profound, less clichéd way of saying that, but undeniably this book is brilliant.

This book is good to read even if you believe you're 'over it'. It has a funny way of making you look back on your past behaviours and realizing that some choices may not have been the best, but you're never made to feel bad for it. There are little workshops throughout the book, such as "10 things to do instead of calling him" (they offer a suggested list, but it's fun to come up with your own too).
Just when you think your life is completely decimated, stop. Get this book, and you'll realize things... more info
