If the age-old question men ask about women is, “What do women want?” then surely the age-old question we ask about ourselves is, “Why do we keep falling for jerks rather than the nice guys who want to date us?” It’s a scenario that even the smartest among us can’t avoid … even someone as smart and level-headed as fictional “Breakup Doctor,” the relationship therapist Brook Ogden.

This was the first book i'd read by Phoebe Fox, although this is the second in a series. I would be keen to read more by Phoebe.
Brook has a counselling practice called Break Up Doctors where she now runs group sessions which are written with great humour and great characters.She also features on radio shows and she is moving on with her life.
This was a nice light read with many amusing moments. The characters are wonderfully drawn and keep you turning the pages.
Very glad that I got the chance to read this one.

Brooke Odgen's new practice as The BreakUp Doctor is going well and life seems to be finally heading in the right direction as she has a good steady boyfriend Ben who is finally a good one, not like the jerks Michael and Kendall. The thing is though that it looks like Brooke is about to sabotage what's good in her life with a bad decision. Chip Santana was one of Brooke's previous patients, but after his anger problem and closeness which resulted in a one night stand and jail, she referred him to another therapist. Now Chip is back in Brooke's life and seems that he wants to stay and Brooke being naive believes he has changed and wanted to get better with her help. I have to admit for Brooke - Chip Santana is her kryptonite, her weakness as he may be hot but reckless. As the book goes along, we read as Brooke seems to juggle Chip and Ben, but what will happen when Ben says "I Love You" to Brooke and she can't respond? He walks out, and this ends in her having another one night stand with none other than Chip Santana. Is this the end of her relationship with Ben? Is The BreakUp Doctor sabotaging her happiness? Find out in Bedside Manners, Book #2 in the BreakUp Doctor series. A light-hearted chick lit romance/ relationship novel.

Brooke, The Breakup Doctor, is back on the scene giving relationship advice to those in need. Brooke’s life seems to be in order and her friend Sacha has calmed down quite a bit.

Jake, Brooke’s dog, seems as though he is one of the main characters in this second installment of the series. I like dogs as much as the next person, but I felt there was excess discussion about him, which caused me to stop reading the novel.

I truly enjoyed The Breakup Doctor more than this second book of the series. I recommend this book to persons interested in genres related to dating, relationship advice, and love of dogs.
I received this book from the Net Galley Reviewer Program in exchange for an unbiased opinion.

A really enjoyable and amusing story which I would recommend to others. Very heartfelt and engaging.
