OH MAH GAWD. Laugh out loud funny, compassionate while simultaneously cruel, this book should be mandatory reading for all girls. Kudos to Team Behrendt!

Breaking up is hard to do. After my college sweetie dumped me, I got "He's Just Not That Into You" and devoured it. I NEEDED it. Even my guy friends had become consolers and "Maybe he's just blah blah blah". Greg B cracked me upside the skull with a baseball bat. "DUDE! He's just not that into you!" And within a few days of repeating my new mantra - he's just not that into me - I was no longer on the floor dating Ben, Jerry, and Jack Daniels. So when my fiance told me "I love you but I'm not IN love with you, our wedding is off and I need you to move out now," I got THIS book while out driving to cry alone in my car. In one day, I read it cover to cover. Let me tell you... when my ex-fiance first told me all this, I wanted him BACK. And I would have done ANYTHING to keep him. But then Greg B cracked me upside the head again. "You're a SUPERFOX! And He's RETARDED not to see that! But don't waste your time with someone who is such a big enough loser that he doesn't see how awesome you are." *crack* Right upside the head. By the time I was done with this book, I had a new apartment, friends helping me load boxes into my new place, and was packing to move. When my fiance came home from a long weekend away and found me half packed up, with a new apartment, and a new life on the horizon, he suddenly didn't want me to go. Guess what? I still left. We've done this before... you want me to be here and be loving and so forth... then you freak out and try to kick me out and I cry and beg and you take off to go to Vegas for 4 days and then I beg you to come home and eventually you do, covered in stripper glitter and reeking of cigars... and you take me back (always with conditions that I change who I am to be in this relationship and keep you happy) and I'm a rug until you're happy then we're happy and - guess what... it's a cycle. It's not healthy. This time, I'm out. Looking back, I was kind of a b**** on my way out... but I didn't waste tears on a man who wasn't wasting tears on me. And as Amiira said in the conclusion of the book - you never regret NOT wasting time pining away for a guy.

Why didn't I find this book a year ago??? by Rebecca K. Albracht (Philadelphia, PA)

I'm sure there's nothing I can say that hasn't been said, but thank GOD for this book!!! I feel like the book was written for me. Seriously, had I had it a year ago, I would have saved a lot of time and pain. But, since I didn't, its REALLY helping me now. I'm way ahead of the curve because of this book. I like their style of writing; it keeps your attention and they're very entertaining. While everything in the book could be considered "common sense", I know that I definitely lacked common sense in my relationship and the breakup. It was the kick in the pants that I needed at a really yucky time.

I bought this book because my best friend recommended it. She had gone through her own break up and now it was my turn. It was a great way to help me realize so many things about my lost relationship. It wasnt a bad breakup but it did leave me with a hole in my heart and many questions left unanswered. This book tells you how to not do those things that you oh so want to do like calling your ex just because you miss his voice or stalking him. My breakup isnt your typical breakup because I see my ex everyday and thats what hurts the most. I know it wasnt my fault and this book helped to realize so many things but at the same time I couldnt help but wonder why. It helped but at the same it hurt to hear the truth. Another thing that I liked about this book was that it included the male perspective of a break up. You hear what he is going through although it may not necessarily be the same it does help.

This is a great breakup book from funny guy Behrendt...I found it suprisingly open, honest, and helpful, also Gregg isn't afraid to shy away from the (sometimes ugly) breakup truth. Hope there are some additional books forthcoming.
