Summary: Let's avoid how I really feel and just bash the "loser"
Review: Fan rage, road rage, rage, rage, rage. Unfortunately this book is just another version of "If you feel hurt, abandonned, or humiliated avoid all of those feelings and just attack the other guy over and over." I don't find this rageful book funny AT ALL. This world does not need more rage. REal empowerment and resolution comes from identifying and managing your emotions, but it takes more work -- something this author clearly wants to avoid by focusing, not on how it really feels to be left, but on the short-comings of other people. MAJOR YUK.

Summary: Kick that losers butt...in Divalicious style!!
Review: Having been unceremoniously dumped after three years with my now ex I was left feeling uncertain, lost, alone and totally bewildered, and among other things wanting him to pay for what he had done to me!I purchased this book six months after the break up and it has helped me get beyond that horrible in between phase. Already being a diva myself lol, before, during and after my ex, this book helped me to regain that diva feeling that had been trampled. The way this book is written it definatley makes u laugh and put things in perspective.It's great to know that all those stages I went thru are totally normal and that I'm not going insane.I'm now ready to re enter the dating world and have a clearer understanding of what I will and won't accept thanks to Alison James and her fantastic take on men and broken hearts!Oh and I'm over the whole kickin his butt stage..I'm a Diva beyond such things..and he just ain't worth it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great post-breakup book!
Review: I just went through a really bad breakup, and I'm so glad I found this book! It's the perfect combination of help and humor, and the quotes are hilarious! Perhaps the greatest thing about this book is the tone--it's not your typical sappy self help stuff--it's totally real.

Alison James writes about the things you're talking about with your friends every day. Best of all, she lets you know that it's okay to feel a little psycho when you're going through a breakup.

Summary: enjoyable book
Review: I loved this book. Every woman should own a copy of this book.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: empowering
Review: I second all the positive reviews of this book. I now keep it in my purse when I go to work and if I feel bad about my love life I pull it out and read a section. I also bought copies to give as gifts to friends. The advice in it is stuff most girls should hear over and over again. One warning to buyers - you won't enjoy it if you don't find humor in twisted things but if you ever felt like kicking a man's a--, you will love this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Refreshingly Funny And Empowering
Review: Just about every page in this book will make you laugh and laughing is good. It helps to diffuse the tension and not to take things too seriously. Whatever the problem, it, too, shall pass. Some suggestions in this book are wildly creative - just reading about them will help you to let the pressure out of your system - as for doing them - well, don't do anything you would regreat later on and the best way to invest your energy is in creating a fabulous new life. You'll find lots of ideas prompting you in the right direction - re-creating and re-inveting yourself and your life in a way that will make you feel thoroughly good about yourself and about your future.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exactly what I needed
Review: This book is the absolute best! I just finally broke things off with a guy that I'd been dating for two years. This book made me laugh out loud about all those things I've been thinking and feeling. It's excellent. It also made me more committed to myself. I never realized how much my life focused on him when we were dating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very clever, funny and helpful
Review: This book is very clever and unique compared to others I've read. It also wraps up some very decent advice into pages of humor. If you are feeling down, just went through a breakup or generally are annoyed with men, you will love this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: empowering
Review: Yes! Bought the book. Liked it a lot. Highly recommend it. It's all of that advice you need to hear presented in a funny way with a hint of sarcasm. My best friend liked it too. Even if you're just dating right now you'll get a big kick out of it and learn something. It also contains good tid bits to write down and hang up on your fridge as reminders.
