"Since the split, you've gone out with:
a. Two boys - one that ended at 9pm and the other with your guy best friend, with whom you've realized you could never get it on with romantically."

Screw you, Monica Tanseco and your diary entries.
Yes, I've dated two guys:
One is a review friend from a distant past, we meet three years after passing the exams. What we were before, what we are now, what we will be in the future is the Talk. We see ourselves excelling in our respective fields. Ye...more

This was the first books I read from Summit. Summit Books have these amazing artsy covers that I just can't resist. The thing is, those covers do pretty much a huge justice because the story is just great. The Breakup Diaries tells a story of a girl recovering from her breakup. Her way of narration is really much like what you write in a diary, thus making you feel like you're reading one. I love how she was able to cope from her heartbreak and what she did to make herself better after it. This...more
I really liked this book. It is inspiring not only for, well, girls who are going through a break up but to girls who are in different situations.
Either happy, in love or well, hopeless romantics. I really liked the message in the end of the book.
And some of the inspiring quotes that the book has given.
Like how even though a guy broke up with you, everything would be okay because there would be someone who'll treat you better-who'll be better and who'll make you feel like you're home.

Original review posted at Off The Wall
"And all it took for her self-esteem to shrink from its former size XL to a diminutive, breath-constricting size XXS were three words: “This isn't working."There really is no easy way to survive a break up especially if you are the one left behind. It’s nice to read books and articles about it but there is no black and white systematic instruction of how one can get past the heartache. The road to recovery is not the same for everyone. Sometimes a person wo...more

This is one of the most memorable books I’ve read. I was entirely engrossed with Monica’s life. She’s the typical girl living a simple life, happily committed and responsible. It seemed she had everything settled out for her. Until, her boyfriend broke up with her on their anniversary. That sucks! And that just where her story begins…
The Break Up Diaries reminds us that there’s always a rainbow after the storm.

Very inspiring book. I recommend this book for those people who still can't move on from their recent breakup or past relationships! I swear, after reading this book, you'll discover something about yourself. :)
I remembered this book way back when I was at may 6th grade. I think this is the time I was starting to devour reading at the young age.:) I highly recommend it to young readers out there..:)
My go-to read when love life is in a rough patch.
Thanks to Summit for reprinting this book! :)
It's a real guide to coping with heartbreaks and finding a new love.

The convenience store version of a literary classic. Still love this tho, a light read but left a mark.
