This book is lovely and easy to read. I was glued to it from beginning to end. Beautifully written and Rosie did entertain me with this lovely story. This book is a thing breakup is not. I will highly recommend this great book to everyone. Well done Rosie Wilby.

I liked this book more than I thought I would considering the subject matter. I enjoyed how inclusive it was right from the start. I liked how the book spoke about the universal experience whilst also being deeply personal to the author.

I really enjoyed this book - I think it gave an honest account of how painful breakups can be, but also the personal growth that can happen from them. The structure/chapter headings were a little confusing but I'd still definitely recommend this book.

In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email. .. though she did feel a little better about it after correcting her ex's spelling and punctuation. Obsessing about breakups ever since, she embarked on a quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. That quest proved to be a creatively fertile one, resulting in Rosie's acclaimed podcast The Breakup Monologues. She decided to ask her colleagues on the circuit about their experiences of romantic disaster and recovery, thinking, 'if one group of people have become adept at learning from catastrophe it is comedians.

This is a laugh out loud and completely relatable book, I enjoyed this so much. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.
