A funny little book, I liked the concept. I laughed quite a lot of times and felt a bit guilty (poor people!). Some of the break-up stories were truely hilarious! The drawing were cute.

A quick and witty book that is filled to the brim with cringe-inducing tales of romantic woes and breakups. My only gripe is that I wish it were longer. After particularly rough or emotionally taxing breakups, I tend to lean on comedy rather than sad and sappy works, this book being the perfect antidote to my heartbreak. The brief and swift romances described in the book alongside simplistic and comedic images made this book a breeze to read through.

A funny collection of the worst break up stories that had me laughing. I'm no so sure I'd like this right after a break up but it would be a good way to cheer up after getting through the hardest part (maybe?). I enjoyed the drawings and wish there were more! Thank you to Netgalley and Animal Media Group for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a collection of breakup stories with some Simone and cute illustrations mixed in. I thought it was fun to read, and hearing these stories truly makes you feel better about your own love life. Full of wit, this makes for a quick and easy read.

I enjoy the illustrations that accompany the stories in this book. The stories themselves are a bit shorter than I expected, but that might speak more on my expectations of breakup stories.

There's something oodly satisfying of reading other people's cringy breakup stories. It made me laugh and it help my friend smile while she was being a little sad after her own breakup. Absolutely recommend as a present to lighten up someone's mood. I wish we could see more of the art on the arc and perhaps few more stories would've been great.

Enjoyable, but very much in the style of collected tweets on a webpage I could have read. not such a fan of the layout, feel like the book could have been presented a bit better.
Content itself is pretty fun, but again - feels like just a lot of website content mashed together into a book.

Quick Read
Happens to everyone
Reading these was pretty darn funny. Why is it that we can find humor in other peoples heartbreak?? Found myself laughing out loud a few times
Great little read.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

Yay, other people's break-ups were way worse.

That probably means there can't be nice cartoon drawn about mine.

***Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

While I appreciate the nature of this book - sharing pain and finding the humor - I was not overly impressed.

1 star.

This was so bad I don't even know why it managed to get 1 star. But it's the lowest I can rate this on here, but I reality it's 0 stars. Not even a half star really.

This clearly wasn't for me. It's it my style of 'humor' which I'm guessing was what this was ment to be. It was not entertaining but just awful and some were hard to read and left me wondering what kind of a person would find this funny?

Not recommended from me.

Yup... This speaks to my jaded, yet hopeful, sucker-for-pain self. You more often than not find people that cheat than people that don't. It's nice and refreshing to see and hear about little snippets of an open relationship, although there is just as much stress and pressure riding on it as there would be on an exclusive relationship, albeit different stresses, it's not as heartbreakingly morbid, or sad and pathetic. This book shows that we are all sad and pathetic, no matter what type of relationship or non relationship we're in.

This book is fun full if stories of those who could have done better at breaking up. We've all done it! This book would make a cute gift for someone as well.

There's something enjoyable about reading other people's break up stories, believe it or not. I picked this book up when I was going through a reading slump and even though I took my time with it, it's definitely a light read that you can read in one sitting. The stories were so different and unique, some more interesting than others, but all of them deserved to be featured in this book. I laughed, even though I felt bad for them and the secondhand embarrassment was present most of the time. The illustrations were gorgeous and they fit the stories perfectly. You can take these stories as a life lesson and maybe avoid the chaos.
Turns out breaking up is, indeed, hard to do.

Some stories were funny, others not so much but still interesting - it's amazing how some people can do that things. The cartoons were okay. It was quick to read and enjoyable.

Cute, snarky, pretty depressing. I would not like to submit further comment but I must submit enough characters.

I have mixed feelings about this graphic novel -- but maybe that is the point! Some stories were funny. Other stories were just okay...but I found myself thinking in both cases, OMG did that really happen to you / did you really do that!? 

If you are looking for a short, fast, cute, and funny read, I would suggest this book.

I was sent this book by NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! It is written in the forms of letters, messages, and cartoons. It made me laugh and feel for all of the people who submitted their stories for this book. Breaking up is hard and there are better ways to do it than the ways shown in this book. I think that this is a book everyone can relate to and can get something out of, even if it is just a laugh and escape from reality.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Hilariously funny. And it truly makes me appreciate the fact that I am a married woman and no longer have to be a part of the dating pool. Some of these stories were funny in the most “that must have sucked to be them” kind of way.
