A must-have manual for finding your way back to an even more rocking you. Greg and his wife, Amiira, share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game.
From Greg Behrendt, the co-author of the smash two-million copy bestseller He’s Just Not That Into You, comes It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken.
There’s no doubt about it—breakups suck. But in the first few hours or days or weeks that follow, there’s one important truth you need to recognize: Some things can’t and shouldn’t be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. Starting right here, right now, it’s time to dry your tears, and open this book to Chapter One–and start turning your breakup into a breakover.
The ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Superfox. From how to put yourself through “he-tox,” to how to throw yourself a kick-ass pity party, and reframing reality— seeing the relationship for what it was. Complete with an essential workbook to help you put your emotions down on paper and heal.
I've read this book a few times while going through breakups. I thought this may help someone who is looking for support.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. How is your current he-tox going? Have you found any new break up books that are helpful?
when you reread it during your breakups, what part hit the hardest for you? was it the tough love, the humor, or just feeling understood
The tough love and humor helped me the most.
i love that you’re sharing something that helped you. sometimes just having words that say “it’s broken for a reason” helps calm the urge to fix what hurt us.
Thank you for sharing the phrase, broken for a reason. I needed to hear that. I sometimes remind myself to breathe in peace, exhale control.
i actually read that book after my worst breakup 😭 i remember being so raw and angry and that “he-tox” part weirdly stuck with me. it felt good to laugh at my own heartbreak for a second instead of drowning in it.
