Some of you may have noticed my absence and thought I gave up or quit this blog but I would never. I was taking a break over Christmas to spend time with family and friends but it was extended due to an extremely sick family member who ended up passing. My grandfather was sent to the hospital on Christmas due to a stroke and seemed to be recovering well but then went downhill fast. He was found shortly in the hospital unresponsive and never recovered. It has been an extremely difficult time for my family and I having to watch him slowly leave us. I have been having a really hard time recovering since we were really close. Even now I still shed tears almost daily even after a month of the funeral. So please excuse my absence and bare with me as I try to get back a somewhat normal life again.
The back of the book reads:
"Been Dumped? Get mad. But not
this m
ad.
Have you ever had your heart broken? How did you get over it?
If a pint of ice cream cheered you up and you were able to delete his number and start again then...
You're a werido and this book is not for you.
But if you reacted with denial, begging, or a spot of casual witchcraft, then you've come to the right place. This is one woman's journey from love to lunacy and back again. If you ever recall past heartbreaks with acute embarrassment and an urge to go into hiding, this will make you feel better. Sure, you may have sent his new girlfriend a bunch of dead roses, but did you spend a grand on psychic hotlines and a voodoo curse?"
So this book is a work of fiction and according to the reviews it was suppose to be hilarious and I wouldn't want to put it down but they are lying. This book was awful. I didn't laugh once. The girl who was dumped, Ashleigh, is bat shit crazy! I felt terrible for her but thought everything she did was ridiculous and far fetched. I wanted to like it and I knew before I was halfway through it that I didn't like it all but I kept reading hoping it would get better but it did not.
I'm not sure if the reader is supposed to feel bad for Ashleigh or relate or just find the book hilarious. It was bad. It's not like I just didn't like part of the book, I didn't like any of it. I don't think I've ever read a book that I didn't have at least one good thing to say about it. I had a bad taste in my mouth when I was done. Definitely don't recommend it but maybe one of you out there will like it. If you read it, good luck!
Thanks for being here,
