Great Book

This is a great girl-power type book for anyone struggling with a breakup. This was definitely not "the big one" for me, but I had a few lessons I needed to learn; a few patterns I need to break, and I think this helped.

Great Resource

I really like this book. It makes a lot of sense. If you are going through a breakup in your relationship buy this book. Read it and you will feel so... much better about yourself. Every girl needs a pick me up and this book will provide you with it. Turn a bad experience into a good one.

Great way to recover from a Break Up!

When I picked up this book, I was not sure it would help. I could not put it down! Lisa knows the steps and provides the tools to help get you through a break up. She knows where you are in your recovery and encourages and helps you make the steps to get not just over your Big Breakup, but how to make sure you make better choises in the future. I was amazed how much she helped me. I am a better person and find myself looking forward to her emails. I would encourage anyone that is stuck with feeling like they will never find the right mate to read her book and do her homework and look forward to the Fabulous Future she tells you that you deserve! It's true!

Funny, Witty, Wise

I've been through many breakups. After one of my very first breakups, with the girl I thought was my soul mate, I was devastated and heartbroken. I can't describe how awful I felt other than to say that it was like having a loved one pass away. It took me a long time to get over that breakup. I wish I would have had this book to help me through those sad and dark times. After another breakup I made the mistake of not cutting off contact with the ex. We got back together, broke up, got back together, etc. It was an awful emotional rollercoaster with twists and turns that wreaked havoc on my psyche. I wish I'd had this book then to help me through those insane times. Throughout all my breakups my friends and family were there for me (Thanks guys and girls) but their help lacked something and I always felt like no one knew what I was going through and what all these breakups meant. I didn't feel there was anyone who could guide me though the process and help me get some clarity and insight into my breakups. All I have to say is thank you. Thank you Ms. Steadman for sharing your wisdom about breaking up and how I can use my breakup experiences to move on UP. I now get it!!!!!! As the book says, "breakups are significant because the ultimately teach us about ourselves". I now understand that I can use my breakups as an opportunity to learn about what I really want out of dating. I've been challenged to take a negative, a breakup, and turn it into a positive, an opportunity to grow and learn. Lastly, thanks for the "target rich" environment dating tip. I now have a better idea of what I want in a woman and where we might meet. Yours Truly, Juan
