    About It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken

    It’s past two in the morning. You’re on your third glass of wine. You’re wearing his sweater because it still smells like him (and quite frankly, he never really smelled that great, but we’ll give it to you). Stamp out that dumb French cigarette and put down that phone. No, really, don’t make that call. Why? Because you’re not that girl, looking for another chance with someone who has proven himself unworthy of your greatness, or sitting alone with a box of tissues while a world full of possibilities waits outside your door. 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, pop in this CD, and start turning your breakup into a break-over.

    IT’S CALLED A BREAKUP BECAUSE IT’S BROKEN is 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 avoid Revisionist Romance Disorder, Greg and Amiira share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game.

    The longer you stay stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on this planet to experience a great one. IT’S CALLED A BREAKUP BECAUSE IT’S BROKEN is a straight-talking, spot-on, must-have manual for finding your way back to an even more rocking you.

    About It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken

    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 over for a reason, and deep down inside you probably know what that reason is. It’s called a breakup because it’s broken, and starting today, you’re not the kind of woman who settles for broken, or hangs on to damaged goods, be it a radio, a pair of shoes, or a relationship. It’s time to get rid of all the broken stuff you’ve been lugging around for days, months, and maybe even years, and make the bold decision to start looking for stuff that works! Because the longer you stay stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on this planet to experience a great one. So open up this book, and let’s dive in—our goal is to help you turn your breakup into the event that changes your life for the better in ways you never dreamed possible. It’s not an end, it’s a beginning! After all . . . you are a Superfox.
