review 1: This was such a wonderful read. Everyone can relate to it in someway. Who has never been in a situation where love is not involved? You are either in love, out of love, looking for love, or trying to escape love. All these stories discuss the different aspects and periods one goes through. You can see yourself in the stories. You can see your friends in the stories. You can see yourself with your friends discussing the stories. There are hilarious moments and times when you want to cry. There are also the few where you realize the author of the story could have been you. Great Book. Easy and Quick read. So worth checking out.
review 2: Some of these essays were painful to read since I could identify so strongly with one or more of the people in them. Some of th
... moreese essays made me cringe at my own previous behavior. What I learned is why these relationship essays and the genre are important:"Our current human situation has produced an abundance of breakup literature. I could give credit to the fact that we live in a fragmented society where it's hard to come by actual connections with people with whom we might consider building a life, or to a world where alienation and misunderstanding are the norms."

The first entry is from my man Junot Diaz. What better way to start the exploration!
