Product Description:
'I wish we were back together for just one night . . .
so I could push you out of my loftbed while you were sleeping.'
Satirical and sharp, downtown New York City performance artist Anita Liberty reinvents self-help as she skewers her ex-boyfriend in this hilarious, hip, and audaciously candid collection of advice, poems, and diary entries.
'I thought you were a gifted and tortured artist.
I was wrong.
About the gifted part.
Oh.
And the artist part.'
From romantic bliss to brutal breakup, from heartache to healing, this fierce, funny, and ultimately liberating homage to being 'dumped' rips off the stiff upper lip in favor of a red-hot therapy of wit, wisdom, rage, and redemption. And now, a few words from Anita Liberty . . .
'COMPROMISE--
Lowering my standards.
So you can meet them.'
'You're a bad habit.
I want to kick you.
Hard.'
Inclues free postcards to send to that special someone!

Rating:  - This book slays me!
This book made me laugh A LOT. I'm not even going through a break-up or anything. I just think she's clever, witty, and riotous! Easy read--I finished it (unfortunately) in less than a day. :-)
Rating:  - Hilarious
For those who found this book unfunny because the idea of hate is so horrible or you think she's a man-hater, please, get a sense of humor. This book is not meant to be therapeutic or taken seriously and the reason it's pointed towards a man is only because she's heterosexual.
It's funny and refreshing and reminds people in moments of pain to find the humor in their situation and maybe they just need to allow themselves a little anger, then get over it.
Rating: - there when I needed it
It was near 6 years ago when I found this book sitting on the shelf of a local bookstore, right there in literal black and white (at the time the cover was black and white). My boyfriend and I broke up just a few weeks prior and I was stricken. I saw this and bought it, and read through it in a couple hours. It helped, a lot. I found it in some boxes during a move a month ago and re-read it. Gave it to my sister and my best friend to read and they loved it too. Anyone, men or women, can relate, and the sarcasm makes me jealous. I wish I had a wit as quick as hers.
Rating: - A surefire remedy for heartbreak
This is the ideal gift for any friend who's suffered a callous rejection. Anita Liberty takes perfect revenge on her unfaithful lover by pillorying him mercilessly in her hilarious stand-up comedy routine. Success and fame follows and her caddish lover even tries to winkle his way back into her shiny new life - only to be made even more of a public joke. Her revenge is doubly sweet.
Rating: - delightful
I loved it and can't wait for the next one to be released. I'd recommend it to anyone.
