No vacancy at Heartbreak Hotel

As a person who's been dumped and been involved with way too many artistic moody types, this is a great book to read to reassure yourself that you aren't the one who is nuts.

Lynn Harris demonstrates an uncanny insight and a witty ability to offer advice that readers can enjoy and substantially profit from when it comes to matters of the heart. Breakup Girl To The Rescue! is enthusiastically recommended reading for anyone old enough to fall in and out of love.

The Goddess of Good Advice for Now

You don't need a current hole in your heart to profit from Breakup Girl's sly and provocative wisdom. Don't be deceived--she is much more than Dear Abby with better hair, a delicious sense of humor and probably a Mensa card. Breakup Girl is a shrewd chronicler of urban angst and The Way We Are Now. Her talent for capturing complex feelings of need and entitlement in the Millenial variety of relationship issues never fails to amuse (e.g. on Long-Distance Relationships--"If you really loved me, you'd take the Concorde.") Breakup Girl is an original-- online or off. I suggest that anyone who wants to discover a new way to enjoy the famously painful quest for a partner ought to click the Shopping Cart bar without further pause.

From a Breakup Girl fan

Anyone who's a follower of Breakup Girl's website will not be surprised at how good this book is. It's full of the wisdom and wit I've come to expect from this terrifically sharp and funny lady--and more. There are essays and comics and Breakup Girl Maxims and tons of good stuff. For someone going through a breakup, it's a must. But it's enormously helpful for anyone, in or out of a relationship. And it's a great read. Breakup Girl always has smart things to say--and always says them in a funny, entertaining way. You can't help but love and learn from this book! I sure did.

Hip, funny, and oh so true (and great advice too!)

One of the joys of looking through this very funny book, besides the generous, knowing, and very helpful relationship advice, is seeing yourself and your friends reflected in letter after letter, page after page. It's funny because it's all true--all of these things probably happened to you or someone you know one time or another, and you really identify with the plights of the real people asking Breakup Girl for her witty help. There's loads of helpful words to soothe you through any problems in any stage of a relationship, and enough really great stuff to keep you highly entertained throughout the rest of the book. And hey, an original Breakup Girl comic adventure to boot!
