Summary: I'm so glad this book was written!
Review: I felt like I had two best friends helping me through the breakup. It's funny, helpful and a great comfort for the first few solo Saturday nights. Marni and Janice's personal stories were endearing and helped me realize I'm not the only one going through a messy breakup. Their site is awesome, too... www.breakuprepairkit.com. I wrote to them and they wrote me back!

Summary: This book was better than therapy!
Review: I love this book! I wish it had been written years ago because it could have helped me get thru many other breakups, not just the one I endured a few months ago. Like so many other reviewers, I referred to certain sections over and over when I had a bad day or was going thru a hard time. On more than one occasion, little words of inspiration truly helped me survive the day. There is so much comforting, nurturing advice contained in the little pink book. It tells ya the kind of stuff you wish your friends were telling you. The authors are so open and vulnerable and sincere. They are the kind of girlies that you would want as friends because they relate breakup pain with their own experiences. I truly felt comforted and relieved to know that I wasn't the only one who felt this way or worried that I'd end up all alone someday. This book comforted me more than any friend could. I'm unfortunately going thru another breakup now and I am referring to it again to endure and come out okay. I'm so glad this book was written. It's been a lifesaver. Thank you Marni and Janice!

Summary: A light-hearted book for broken-hearted people
Review: I loved this book so much that I bought it for 2 friends going through break-ups!! I originally bought it to help me understand some lingering unresolved issues that my boyfriend had from his previous relationship. We found it very helpful. It was honest yet upbeat and humorous. The book is easy to read at a time when stress and sadness can impede focus. It reinstills a sense of hopefulness. BRAVO Janice and Marni!!!

Summary: Dealing with my break up....
Review: It was getting close to valentine's when I was wondering around barnes and noble's looking for an un-valentine's day book and then I stumbled to an un-valentine's book section and this book was in the section. My bf of two and a half years and I had broken up about three weeks prior and I was scared to be alone during valentine's day for the first time in three years. This book really helped me b/c it helped me work through my feelings. Its been almost six months since the break up and I still have a hard time dealing with it some days. I am constantly re-reading different section of the book to help me with my feelings. I don't know what I would of done without this book! I def recommend it to anyone who's struggling to get over a broken heart!

Summary: The Repair Kit works if you allow it to!
Review: Janice and Marni give sensitive, heartfelt, and realistic advice when dealing with a break-up. I found myself re-reading certain sections--it was comforting during some of the hardest days, and an inspiration to look back and say "I passed that point. I'm okay." I've read some other books throughout my break up process, and this one is by far the best. I thank Janice and Marni for writing this book.

Summary: Currently broken hearted
Review: My boyfriend broke up with me 4 weeks ago. While wandering through a bookstore recently, I spied this little pink book. It only took about 3 pages for me to realize that it was a must-buy.

As a member of a 12-Step program, I found this book very much in line with 12-Step practice and principles. Cozy and familiar.

If you have never been exposed to AA, Alanon, OA, etc. you may find the "Program Speak" (i.e. Higher Power, God Box, etc.) a little daunting, but if you can get past that, you'll find a lot of useful tools to help you through the breakup process.

Will it be any easier now to deal with my breakup? Any less painful? Of course not, but that's the whole point. Marni & Janice rightfully express that you MUST sit through all of the pain, grief, anger, fear, etc. to truly heal. Without doing that, we're doomed to repeat our relationship mistakes (with yet another Emotionally Unavailable Cowboy) again and again and again.

Summary: LOVED this book!
Review: This book is wonderful, the authors have created a book that I could turn to when I was feeling down after my breakup that was as reassuring as an old friend. It offers great advice, but more than anything, it just lets you know that you aren't alone, and it will pass. Janice and Marni are even available online to give out personal advice, I tried it and it worked. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going through a breakup.
