Oh my god, people can be awful! hahaha

I'm glad I picked this book up. This was a very entertaining book, filled with hilarious and terrible break up stories. A very fast read, I would recommend it, especially if you've ever been dumped. It may help to put things in perspective :)

This is going to maybe sound awful, but this was really funny! I enjoyed reading this book and seeing all the funny comics that accompanied it! I needed a good laugh and this one won me over. I don't even know where to start with these. Brings back my youth and all the fun me and my friends had in the dating game. maybe a nice gift for someone who has just broken up with some one would appreciate a good laugh and let them know they aren't alone- we've all been ditched or have ditched someone- it's not the end of life!

Quick and entertaining, the art didn't add all that much but the breakup stories were amusing (and sometimes appropriately horrifying) so I don't have a ton of complaints. It does what it sets out to do pretty well.

This book has good potential. If it had more illustrations, and the stories were organized and not so random, it would feel like it had a theme other than breakups. It feels like a good draft that needed a little more material.

I was hoping this book would bring more humor and creativity to the topic of breakups, but it didn't live up to my expectations. It's cute if you're in the mood for something light, short, with not a lot of substance.

A funny collection of humorous, sad, and maddening break-up stories that I enjoyed reading in bits and pieces.

It's a small book of anonymous break up stories that range from elementary to college relationships. Stories have a small goofy comic that corresponds with the story.

I needed something light and kind of silly this fit the bill. Some of the stories weren't hilarious but definitely, "You could've done better" situations as the title states.

This is a collection of hilarious break ups that will make you laugh out loud, so be careful not to read this in bed while your partner is sleeping or you could end up being the main charactet of the follow up of this brilliant book. One flaw? I somehow expected this to be a full comic, while I only found a few sketches here and there that did not build up the bulge of the book, and the art was not particularly appealing, but the rest of the content more than made up for this minor disappointment.

This was a very cute, fun read! It certainly served its purpose: if you've ever been dumped in a horrible or hysterical way, and need to feel better about it (or just a bit less alone), this book is for you!

This graphic novel reads like a Reddit thread, because that's essentially what this is. Would someone who has just recently gone through a breakup find comfort in this book? Yes. Unfortunately for this author, I'm in a pretty good spot in my life at the moment.

Aside from the written content, I wish a more legible font had been used and wasn't the biggest fan of the illustration style. Hoping others will find more joy in this than I did!

Unfortunately, this book didn’t hit the mark for me. I like the idea of a collection of funny break up stories but they just seemed to lack any emotion and I didn’t laugh at all during the read.
The illustrations are good and do add something to it but I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review the book.

I really think that foe the right reader this would be an excellent resource. Personally I was unable to do more than preuse.

Brief personal stories of bad break-ups, from a mild wince to absolutely cringe-inducing, that show a variety of experiences and how flawed humans can be when they interact with each other or end a relationship.

This book is hilarious! People are so weird. This is evidence.

The book is a compilation of breaking up stories accompanied by cartoons. It is a quick read. Some of the stories are funny, some are just okay. The same thing with the cartoons - some are very clever and interesting, but some are just okay. Overall, it is a good weekend entertainment, if you, like me, find yourself bored with half an hour to spare in a rainy Sunday afternoon. At least it will make you smile :)

I liked this book, didn't love it though. Some of the short collection of short essays of breakups were funny and entertaining, some seemed like it was repeating itself. Short stories are hardier for me to get into and connect with. This book is great for a reader that loves short stories as their are some entertaining illustrations. I wouldn't recommend this book as a great read, however would gift it for someone going through a break up for a good laugh.

Absolutely a great and quick read. The short stories really are such a wide variety, and really interesting. Always brings out a chuckle or two. Whether it be sad, cringe-worthy or hilarious, I enjoyed most of the stories. The drawings that come with it really adds to the reading experience. Would recommend to everyone, single or taken.

I had great expectations for this book/author, but it just fell flat for me. Shook my head a lot, but no laughter. Meh.

This book is a collection of people's who was being dumped by their boyfriend/girlfriend. There are some funny stories that made me giggle a bit, but there are also some stories that kind of sad. I like the mixed of it.
I also love the illustrations :) It's so good.

This holarious little book is awesome and I really love the art style. Only complaint is it could have been longer.
