This is one of the most powerful books I read this read. I always know that whenever reading a new Anita Papas book, I am never going to be disappointed by it, but even more, I never thought I will INCREDIBLY enjoy a book about break-ups in relationships THAT much and find it very addictive. This was definitely one of the most perfect books that I've read outside my comfort zone!! Looking forward to Anita's next masterpiece!!

The book is concise and straight to the point. It summarizes the breakups of our time. If you've ever heard, or not, of "Bibliotherapy" (which is the use of books as therapy in the treatment of mental or psychological disorders); then this book can treat you.
Heartbreaks don't just disappear, of course you need a lot of time to heal. However, this book can help you through the process. It enlightens you about the phases that you've either experienced or will, soon after a breakup. It is always helpful when things are interpreted, i mean when you get to see your relationship from a professional perspective.
For me, i started reading this after a sudden shocking break-up (though i've had the book since one year). It was as though i am talking to someone, where in fact i was only reading. Anita is great at sharing stories, you feel that you are not alone, and eventually things will become better.
The book looks at relationships and breakups from a very up to date perspective, i.e. analyzing human behavior around relationship with the rise of digital social media; though the core of relationship issues and breakups is the same, and timeless since ever.
It feels that the book is that best friend who knew about your relationship and is giving you professional advice and the best of how to overcome this phase. I read this gradually though it is very short, i stopped for around two weeks and scanned what i had read before when i wanted resume reading; i really felt that i was able to see more clearly which phase of a breakup i was in and few other observations. It is the kind of books that you keep close even when you finish reading so that you can get back to when you need a prompt advice of a friend on these matters.
Eventually, i guess only time heals our broken hearts, but a helpful book along the way (especially at first) is what you need.
