I loved this book and boy did I need it...
Ususally I shy away from self-help books but the cover caught my eye and I ended up browsing through it & realizing that it would be a huge help to me during this really hard time. I was only dating my boyfriend for a few months but for some reason I am having the hardest time getting over him, so when I started to flip through "The Girls' Guide To Surviving A Break-Up" I knew that it would soothe and help me, and it has. Because the writing is really funny and the author seems real (you can tell she's been through it too) and her advice is so good and empowering, it's given me a glimpse of hope and made me feel like I will move past this (and him). I highly recommend this book to anyone feeling heartbroken and blue. This is a GREAT book that has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. Thank you Delphine Hirsh!

This book is a lifesaver...
This book is chock full of helpful advice and it is writen in a way that feels as though you are talking to a really, wonderful, soothing and understanding friend. The best part is that it is like having this friend at your beck and call 24 hours a day. It really helped me through a rough time.
Thank you Delphine for writing this book!

Excellent Read!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going through or recovering from a breakup. It is not a step-by-step guide to recovering from a breakup -- that would be so boring and I doubt anyone in a breakup state of mind would feel inclined to read or pratise it. Instead, the author offers you her friendship and support as she holds your hand and walks you through your ordeal, starting from the First Few Days where all you are required to do is Just Keep Breathing. There is no trace of preachiness or holier-than-thou-ness in the book. Instead, you feel that the author is going through the pain with you. But at the same time that she offers you her friendship, she is also there to ensure that you do not wallow in too much sadness and die of a broken heart (no man is that worthy!). She props you up when you trip over and encourages you to press on, like when you make that call that you know you shouldn't and she has told you not to and why not. In addition to the sound, practical and pragmatic advice, what distinguishes this as an outstanding book is the empathy and forgiveness that comes across. With some quiet humour and lots of common sense, you are encouraged (and sometimes pushed along) to continue placing one foot in front of the other day by day, until you yourself recognise that by doing this simple act (and continue breathing), you are already moving on and getting better. The author has done a wonderful job. She surely has been there before and knows what she's talkiing about. She's now back as a friend and supporter -- yours. Get this book! Similar Products
