by Greg Behrendt (Author), Amiira Ruotola - Behrendt (Author)
The latest book by Greg Behrendt, author of the two-million plus copy bestseller `He's Just Not That Into You', is another hilarious, wry and wise take on relationships and how to move on when one goes sour.
`He's Just Not That Into You' is more than a book. It's a revolution. The phrase, coined by Behrendt for an episode of Sex and the City, has now entered the language: it features in ads, it's referred to in newspaper headlines and it has spawned spin-off spoof books and more.
`It's Called A Break-up Because It's Broken' promises to do this and more. It will help you get over anyone and move on. Behrendt's voice is unique - combining tell-it-like-it-is advice with humour and the 'guy's eye view'. The book is filled with solid advice to help you let go of your ex - for example: 'It's 3 am, the bottle of wine is empty, do you really want to make that call? How hot is that?'
Each insightful chapter is complemented with a Q-and-A with Greg on what he's thinking, case studies, and games. Greg and Amiira tackle tough issues such as break-up sex, how not to lose your friends during a break-up, and 10 great places to cry. It's the ultimate read and reference for anyone who has ever been in a relationship.
