I read through this book in about 30 minutes after finishing an essay in class and was waiting for everyone else to finish.

It was enjoyable enough, a short, pretty funny read.

The illustrations are well done and the funniest part of the book.

But several of the submissions feel flat, or were too similar to be repetitively funny. Others were very funny, but with the writing styles and lengths inconsistent, and all the stories being straight, probably unedited submissions from others, it felt like you should get more from a book you buy.

It was pretty funny, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the best.

Short, funny, sad, and entertaining. I can relate to this book and that's why I like it. If you’ve just been dumped, read this book. It will make you laugh a little bit.

Thank you to Netgalley for opportunity to read this book.

Cute, not much to it though. I'd definitely consider adding a lot more stories.

This book was hilarious! I truly enjoyed it. Most of us at one time or another experience a break-up. This book has the stories of some of the worst or funniest ways to break up with someone. The pictures were cute, too. This was a fast read, and fun to read. Just read it!

Short but very funny book on breakups. Who can't relate at sometime or another. If you want some tips(Ha) or just want to relate to others in the same situation, this book is for you. Great little book!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Haha, absolutely brilliant book of breaking up stories. Short ones, longer ones, and all couples with illustrations. Recommended!

(Almost) everyone has been through it, breaking up. Some of the break ups go well, and some... well, I would say read this book. I had a great time reading this one. With some I was nodding along, I knew the feeling of the person. And some break ups... well, it was a bit hard to believe some really happened. Some were quite a bit messed up. Poor people who had to go through this.:(
But most of them were just hilarious to read, I even read a few out loud to my boyfriend who also was laughing at the silliness.

Yes, break ups are painful, but the author really did a great job to make them more fun, and hilarious, to alleviate the pain.

I loved that the break up stories varied in size. Some were short, just a few sentences, but some took a few pages! I am not sure if I would have enjoyed the book the same way had all the stories been long. And some stories just work better as short.

Then added with the break up stories we also have illustrations. Each of them was great and made me laugh even harder. The illustrations are a bit simple, but I didn't mind that at all. It fitted with the book perfectly.

Plus points go to the title!

So, all in all, I would recommend this one, and I hope that the author will be bringing out more of these books. I will definitely read them if she does!

A quick, cute and quirky little read based on real life break up experiences from a variety of people, illustrated with flair . The stories range from funny to sad and are sure to resonate with everyone who has ever been dumped, especially if it was handled badly. Fun to dip in and out of too, if you don't feel like reading it in one sitting.

The idea of the book is nice, but the style of writing is quite juvenile. People are expecting to read breaking up stories sometimes, but a book holding those stories should be able to sublime it to the next level, not simply telling the love - dead story in the junior high. The illustration is much more brilliant than the language.

This book portrays a hard thing like a breakup in a light-hearted approach. Reading this makes me feel happy to be single. Would make a perfect gift to single people on valentines day, and also to people who have ever had a breakup.

Really cute book that I enjoyed., it is a topic we all face at least once in our life. Very well done, and I read it in one sitting. I loved the catoons!

Honestly this is just a hilarious collection of the worst ways and things to happen while you break up with someone. This was just funny in a Oh-my-God-what-the-hell way. It will make you cover your mouth in horror while trying not to laugh at the same time.
