It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken - The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy

Review:After a very painful break-up, I found myself trying to call him, asking his friends for information about him, ect. My friends were sick of hearing about him, and I was going crazy. Then I picked up this book. The advice was very straight forward, and the anecdotes were very funny.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been dumped or did the dumping, and is an emotional wreck. BTW I am now blissfully single and enjoying dating again! Read more

Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents
Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents

Review:For every parent who feels the strain of relating to your children who are now fully grown. This book took away the anxiety I was feeling and the anger it was creating with feelings of an abandonment of sorts. I was not prepared for how I would feel once my son was truly independent. Instead of appreciating the quality of our visits I was counting numbers of visits as my marker for 'my time'. This book has given me the perspective and the truth I needed to move forward with my son in my life. Read more

Reducing signs/symptoms, outcomes, probable causes and such in bullet points kinda reduces it to a cold or flu. I found other books to be more helpful HOWEVER this would be a great book if you're j... Read more

Stories About the 12 Hardest Things I'm Learning to Say
Stories About the 12 Hardest Things I'm Learning to Say

Review:What a beautiful, poignant and moving book. Reading this book is like sitting down with a good friend and chatting over lunch. She’s the friend who can say what's in your heart but expresses it so much better. She conveys these 12 phrases through offering us glimpses into her own life. One minute she's telling you how she went ballistic over a toilet that wasn't flushed (by the way, if you ever find yourself at Kelly's house don't let the dog lick you ?), and the next minute she's breaking your ...
