Published 10th Jan. 2017 by Animal Media Group LLC with illustrations by Hilary Campbell, this collection of simply illustrated awful break-up stories will make you wince and hopefully smile some. The author/illustrator's stated purpose (after declaring that people are straight up generally terrible) was that by sharing stories we share experiences and lessen the sadness and hopefully share some humor. The stories run the complete gamut from first grade playground dumpage to full on live-in-partner horribleness. There were many of these that made me groan out loud.

It's a simple and short book, full of shared misery. I can definitely see this as being a good 'Ben&Jerry's + friends TV binge watching + book' after a good friend gets dumped (and you knew the boyfriend was a complete idiot all along).

Three stars for art and concept. Definitely worth a look.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher.
