BEEN DUMPED? GET MAD. BUT NOT THIS MAD.
 
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 weirdo 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 hot-lines and a voodoo curse?
 
Praise for the novels of Chrissie Manby
 
“Unputdownable.”—Heat (U.K.), on Getting Over Mr. Right
 
“I’ve always liked Manby’s books and this is my favourite so far . . . deeply cringe-making . . . often hilarious . . . I loved it. Six stars, hurrah!”—Daily Mail, on Getting Over Mr. Right
 
“If it’s not a man keeping you up until 3 a.m., it’ll be this book. . . . It’s a diamond-encrusted, guiltily pleasurable romp.”—Cosmopolitan, on Marrying for Money

      Ashleigh and Michael met at a party. Ashleigh and Michael dated for two years. Michael dumped Ashleigh. Ashleigh, unable to get over the breakup, spirals deeper and deeper into a heady mix of depression, frantic self-improvement, and a little light sorcery. Even if you've never knitted a voodoo doll of your ex-boyfriend (but perhaps thought about it), you'll relate to Getting over Mr. Right, a quirky, funny tale of one woman's recovery from a particularly bad breakup. Manby gives a common chick-lit trope some needed gravitas as Ashleigh's attempts to pull herself out of her relationship drama prove that a pint of ice cream and a good cry aren't always the magic cure for heartbreak. While some of Ashleigh's actions seem outlandish, those who've been rejected, wronged, or just rebuffed will see glimpses of themselves in Manby's protagonist. The prose is light and witty, with all loose ends neatly wrapped up by the book's final pages. Ideal for the beach-reading season and loyal chick-lit fans, the novel is alternatively cringe inducing and deeply relatable.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
