Being someone who is not a huge self-help fan, I knew I wasn’t going to vibe with this one. While there were some interesting stories and insights in this book, it felt a bit too preachy and structured for it to be useful for me.

I am a bit curious about how many people who would need to hear the message would be picking up this book - it seems to focus mostly on those who are in the midst of a breakup or in the immediate after-effects. Not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve definitely never reached for a self-help book when going through a breakup.

Overall, this book had some interesting insights and I would recommend it to those who enjoy self-help books.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Dey Street Books for the gifted e-book in exchange for an honest opinion!

Truly this book was exactly what I needed! I was intrigued by Amy Chan's Renew approach from first hearing her on a podcast, and this book definitely expanded on that in a great way. I enjoyed some of the exercises and some weren't for me, but overall it was a great self-help book for someone who has recently been through a breakup.
I wish it had been more inclusive, and some things seemed to rely a lot on gender stereotypes (men want to play the field and move on, women want a connection). But overall I really enjoyed Amy Chan's approach to breakups.
