Highly recommended."

Chapter 2, The Rules of Disengagement, are a must-read for anyone who has ever suffered a bad breakup, particularly the list of items that keep folks stuck in their grief
most notably the concept of needing closure after a failed relationship...Well written and thorough. Practical how-to's in every chapter. Warm and friendly tone that never comes across as condescending or judgmental."
