This was an easy, simple read, and was at least a little entertaining, but more than anything else I just couldn't really get past how sad and pathetic Ashleigh is. Really? It's a disgrace to our gender as women to let a man get to you this badly. And to let it affect everything else in your life? Ugh. But I do like the author, so I'm sure I'll read other books by her. Hopefully they'll be better than this one. ( )

I don't know why I finished this book. I didn't really like Ashleigh, so I don't know why I spent so much time 'with' her. She got dumped in a terrible way (who hasn't?) and couldn't let him go. She proposed (maybe he needs a grand gesture), she stalked him (online and in person) she paid a phone psychic for a voodoo charm, she lost her job, burned down her house and ruined her best friends wedding cake - all the while I was just hoping it would be over soon. Why did finish? It was only 200ish pages and I wanted to see Ashleigh learn something, but in the end I don't really think she did. ( )

This book was just ok. It was a fun, light read, but I wanted to strangle the main character many times. Her obsession with her ex is just unrealistic. I imagine that Chrissie Manby was dumped at some point and wrote this book as a way to explore her extreme feelings without actually have to engage in any of these behaviors, living vicariously through her protagonist. ( )

This was a fun book with plenty of humor. Most people have been dumped at some point in their lives and can identify with what Ashleigh is going through. How awful to find out on Facebook that your two year romance is over! What a schmuck! The story is well written and easy to read. The characters are interesting but eventually grow annoying. At first I was sympathetic to Ashleigh's pain, as were her family and friends. As time went by and she became obsessed with Michael, her lost love, I wanted her to snap out of it. I realize that was the intent and her downward spiral did provide some comedy and entertaining moments but for me it lasted too long. I did like the later progression and the satisfying ending. All in all it was worth the read and I do look forward to more from this author.

Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers for a copy of this book to review. ( )

I did enjoy this book, at least at the beginning. The first person narrator Ashleigh is a likable character, although she is beyond extreme in the way she handles her breakup...she does things all of us have probably thought of doing-but would never do. The whole plot is fairly unbelieveable, particularly the evolution of Ashleigh from heartbroken lunatic to successful together "consultant" but it was engaging for the most part.

I did receive this book from Early Reviewers. ( )
