Just what I needed after a rough breakup. No cheesy clichés or recycled advice—this actually felt like it got what it's like to go through it today. Straight-talking, surprisingly relatable, and somehow made me feel like moving on was actually possible. Highly recommend.

Despite all the positive reviews and press this book gets, I was more than a little dubious at first.

I thought NOTHING could help me with my breakup, With how confused, angry, alone, scared, lonely and hurt I was.

Genuinely, from 5 mins in, this book DID start to help and made sense of so many things.

I highly recommend this book for anyone in the midst of a breakup. It might just save u extra misery like it did for me!

I can't emphasize enough how "How to Get Over Your Breakup" has been an absolute game-changer in helping me navigate the treacherous waters of heartbreak. As a woman who found herself drowning in a sea of sadness and despair after a painful breakup, this book became my lifeline, guiding me through the process of healing and rediscovering my sense of self.

From the moment I cracked open the first page, I was greeted with a warm, reassuring voice that made me feel like I was chatting with a compassionate friend who truly understood my pain. The author's approach is both empathetic and practical, striking the perfect balance between emotional support and actionable advice.

What truly sets this book apart is its comprehensive nature. It covers everything from understanding the stages of grief to rebuilding self-esteem, fostering healthy coping mechanisms, and even embracing the possibility of new beginnings. It's not just a "one-size-fits-all" guide; it's a personalized journey that acknowledges the uniqueness of every individual's experience.

One of the standout features for me was the emphasis on self-care. The book doesn't just encourage bubble baths and spa days (though those are wonderful too), but delves deeper into cultivating a genuine love and respect for oneself. The exercises and journal prompts were particularly helpful in self-reflection, and they gradually nudged me towards a place of acceptance and growth.

The anecdotes shared throughout the book are like rays of hope piercing through the darkness. Knowing that others have triumphed over similar heartaches made me feel less isolated and more connected to a community of survivors.

Months have passed since I first picked up this book, and while the pain hasn't completely disappeared, I can honestly say that I've emerged stronger, wiser, and more resilient. The journey of recovery is ongoing, but armed with the insights and tools from "How to Get Over Your Breakup," I feel equipped to face whatever comes my way.

If you find yourself grappling with the aftermath of a breakup, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book. It's not just a guide; it's a beacon of hope, a comforting embrace, and a roadmap to reclaiming your life. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking solace and empowerment during their healing journey.

There were some useful tips, but unfortunately for me nothing i hadn't already read before. if you haven't read much on the subject this will be useful. Also, this book (and much other advice) is geared towards learning to love your new single life after a relationship, if you've been single a long time and just lost a new relationship you are RETURNING to single so its a different situation all together.

not bad
