Quick read! This book wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

That to says the stories listed were entertaining, some brutal, but overall it was the illustrations that were my favorite part. Might be something fun to get a friend going through a bad breakup.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do... But You Could've Done Better by Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell is a must-have book. We have all been there, on either side of the breakup, we are either the brokenhearted or the cause of the broken heart. This book shares some messed up, hilarious, leave you speechless type of break up stories. Real stories, as in people actually are telling you the ways they've been broken up with.
You don't even have to be going through a break-up to enjoy this book. I loved it and laughed from beginning to end. It helps you remember that laughter can cure all, even a broken heart.

A few of the stories were interesting, but I found most of them to read like I was reading through a clickbait article online, unfortunately. Although I very much appreciate the sentiment behind the idea, and love the accompanying illustrations.

3.5/5
This book is witty, honest, and sharp. The illustrations paint a hilarious image of just how awful people can be. The humor is light and doesn’t take itself too seriously. the submissions for this book really revealed the lows some people will go to. Overall, I enjoyed reading this collection of comics, and would definitely turn to it in the case of a breakup.

This book had a cute quirk to it. Well, as cute as you can get when you’re a kinda sloppily drawn book about break-ups. This book reminds me way too much of the old FML website and all those Bustle and Buzzfeed articles about people and their tragic stories. So in this day and age, this book is remarkably unoriginal. But did I still have a fun time reading this and laughing/cringing at other people’s expense? Yes. Yes I did.

Breakups are rough. There's the crying, the ice cream, the wondering how you could possibly have nearly married someone who thought it was reasonable to cheat with a cocktail waitress because she bailed him out of jail for a DUI (yep that story is in here).

From the totally understandable reasons for breaking up with someone ("I wanted to spend more time with my dog") to the totally outrageous reasons for being dumped ("Jesus came to him in a vision and told him I was a whore"), the stories here are funny, sad, and sometimes really, really, really weird.

The illustrations themselves aren't really all that impressive but it's still an interesting, quick read if you want a little laugh, especially if you need a little pick-me-up to know that you're not alone and that someone else has also dated someone who threw a temper tantrum because they dared to go to the gym, only to come home to find their significant other had packed their things and moved out (yep, that one actually happened to me folks...good riddance!).

This was a very fast read for me. As someone who has been dumped, I enjoyed other peoples stories of pain. Some of the stories were funny, but some were downright mean.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has dating troubles or just a enjoys reading.

I enjoyed this short easy read. The artwork and pictures really gave the stories more character and there were a few times that I laughed out loud. You can not go into this book thinking that you will get a satisfying read. I know that it is a compilation of breakup stories, but I do wish there had been more/longer stories to read.

This collection of break-up stories was both funny and sad at the same time. Just more proof that some people are giant piles of burning garbage. I did enjoy the artist's interpretations of the stories though some of the drawing were a little kitschy.

This was 150 pages of funny break up stories, with illustrations at the end or middle of each story.

Some of them I liked, some of them not really, but overall it was a good book.

This book is completely pointless. The "author" took a collection of other peoples stories and put them together, added some stupid doodles and calls it a book.

While the stories themselves are quite funny, the cartoons are terrible and unnecessary, much like the "author". Its beyond me how she managed to get this published.

Really cute book of stories & cartoons regarding breakups.... relatable & cathartic! I really liked the artwork & will look up more of Campbell's work! A short, fun, quickly read book....this will make you feel good, & put a smile on your face! Yep, highly recommend it!
I received this e-book from NetGalley, in return for my own fair & honest review.

This book was very fun to see all the horrible ways people end a relationship. some were tragic and others were too funny not to laugh.

I afored this book! It was light and entertaining,
I will reread it when I need a giggle. Thank for the opportunity to review it.

Note: I received this book from the author/publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A really cool concept but ultimately a little lackluster for me. I loved the illustrations and the cozy feel of the book. It probably would be more helpful or resonate more if I was going through a breakup but for me, it didn't hit that emotional level. None of the stories really made me laugh out loud or feel anything more than "ooof, that sucks". So on the whole, a really neat concept and some super lovely art but the stories fall flat.

This is a collection of short stories about peoples break-ups. I found it funny, and also very relatable! I did like the illustrations. It is a great book to grab when you want to read something not very deep but fun!

I usually like reading books similar to <i>Breaking Up is Hard to Do... But You Could've Done Better</i>, basically books of lists or collections of short vignettes. That's what drew me to this title along with the fact that nearly everyone has been through a break-up whether on the receiving or the delivering end. There was a nice collection of various individuals who had been through a break-up at some point in their life from former high school sweethearts to grade-school puppy love that wasn't to be.

Some of the individuals that did the breaking up also acknowledged when they were hurting their former significant other, and while I respect that, I'm sure there was a better way to go about it. Then again, that's part of the title, too, so fairly accurate. I was kind of hoping there was more graphic novel to the collection, especially since I found it listed under that genre. There were some illustrations that went along well with their respective vignette, but I just wanted more.

Overall, this was an good collection.

It reads more as an autobiography than it reads like a humorous comic about breakups. I would have liked to see more advice and tips.

Want to lose your faith in humanity? Look no further... Breaking Up is Hard to Do... But You Could've Done Better by Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell is the perfect way to make you say "I'll never get into a relationship again." Breaking Up is Hard to Do is a compilation of crazy breakup stories. Once you finish this book you will be so glad you never had any of these experiences (or if you did, I pity you). Definitely recommended for anyone who is recently single.

Some of these stories will make you smile, giggle and generally shock you. I really enjoyed reading this and cannot wait to have a physical copy in my hands.
