About this ebook

The stories you are about to read are true. Often hilarious and always relatable, they all describe the moment when good sense and simple self-respect triumph over the human need to be loved—or, at least, the need to be with a particular man. The relationship may not last beyond lunch, or it may linger for weeks, months, or even years. But inside, you know: it's over.

Ratings and reviews

It didn't even give a good sample. Just showed the beginning pages, which no one really reads. Content,index,title page etc I'm sure if I read the first page of the chapter then I'd probably buy it.
