A perceptive mixture of around 60 sometimes-scandalous relationship tales, Breakup Cocktail is made up of a large measure of reality and a splash of wit. Every tale deals with a different situation or emotion and each one is followed by a shot of appropriate tough-love advice. Do you miss your ex so much you see their ghost sitting next to you watching T.V.? If so, read Taking the Ted out of Haunted for an exorcism of the mind. Do you brush your teeth with their worn-out toothbrush? Marty’s tale offers advice to cleanse the palate of someone else’s DNA. Would you sell your soul to spend one more day with your old love? What if they stole your mutual friends or bought their lover an engagement ring on your credit card? Have you ever cried for a week straight or been so angry you ate and drank yourself into oblivion? Quentin is bored with his wife so he buys her a long, red wig. Her new look seduces them both, but in this wry, humorous tale of dressing up your unsuspecting wife to look like your girlfriend, she exposes his scheme and calls him in for a little auburn revenge. In another tale, Alice wants to remain friends with her ex, but Keith won’t agree unless she becomes friends with his new girlfriend as well. So what’s a girl to do? Both easy to read and hard to put down, these tales will take the reader on a breakup journey that crosses over cheating and revenge; passes loneliness and depression by, and reaches recovery—with a smile on every page.

Reading Entertainment I am in the middle of completing another book and purchased this book for the five parts laughter. I flipped through this book preparing to put it away until I completed the other book.and started reading and laughing. Three hours later I was still reading and laughing. The pie dish story is so visual it should be read on an empty stomach! I loved the way the writer presents each couple’s case. This book is reading entertainment at its best. (It would have been helpful for me while recovering from a broken heart or relationship and although happily married, I love to read all books).
Humorous and Inspirational This book made me laugh, even though I am very sad right now after my breakup. It is full of realistic relationship stories and life after the break-up, that are sadly true, but also funny. After my breakup, the most difficult thing was being alone. The stories about coming home to an empty apartment, going out alone, or dealing with difficult situations alone seemed written just for me. Losing the person who you thought was always on your side is heart-breaking. Knowing that I am not alone with this heart-break was comforting and provided me with encouragement that “this too shall pass.”Other stories I could relate to were about getting over your ex and starting to date again. Each of herstories will make you laugh and inspire you with their lessons, practical advice and “twists of revenge”.Throughout the book,I felt that Ms. Singer was speaking directly to me. When I finished it, I realized that I am not alone and there is a happy life for me in the future.The Breakup Cocktail is a perfect Valentine’s gift to give your friends who are recovering from a bad relationship.
