"The Break-Up Bible" is a self-help book aimed at women going through break-ups that goes beyond the normal platitudes about moving on--it actually explains why and how you should move on, under the author's hypothesis that sometimes you need an appeal to common sense and intelligence to make healthy decisions for yourself regarding your love life.The book approaches the beast that is a break-up from all angles--how to deal with meeting an ex in person, how to keep yourself from stalking him on the Internet (or how to deal with what you see in a positive way), and even reasons for why you may or may not get back together with him. It also has an in-depth discussion of how to handle the different stages of a break-up--from twenty-four hours after to six months after. Since right after a break-up six months can seem an eternity away, a frank appraisal of how time affects you is very helpful!I'd recommend "The Break-Up Bible" to women in all stages of life who are going through a break-up or trying to figure out why an ex left them. It's written in a conversational, friendly style that makes it easy to read--as if the advice is coming from a friend. The author also intersperses her advice with personal examples from her own life, letting the reader know that she's been there and survived--and you can too.
