Nine Actual, Real World Uses For An Ex-Boyfriend

Hey, Hi, how you doing?

I hope you are enjoying Nine Uses For An Ex-Boyfriend. I think if you've ever been through the torturous process of breaking up with someone you love, even when they've done you wrong (or especially when they've done you wrong,) then it will resonate.

I definitely think I need to write a much longer blog piece about why I wrote the book and what I wanted to achieve, but that's for another day. I also have a killer recipe for some really gooey and decadent Broken-Hearted Brownies. What I will leave you with is my definitive nine uses for an ex-boyfriend:

Nine Uses For An Ex-Boyfriend

1. Target practice

2. Changer of lightbulbs, mender of plugs and on call handyman for all other household repairs.

3. Shoulder to cry on, even though he's the one responsible for 95% of your tears.

4. Bedroom buddy when you're having a dry spell that would put the Sahara Desert to shame.

5. The reason why you'll never trust a man again.

6. Something to bore all your friends about as you describe yet again all the ways he did you wrong.

7. A best friend, though generally most of your friends don't break your heart into itty bitty little pieces.

8. The person you call at 3am, because there's a spider in the bathroom.

9. Well, you wouldn't call him an ex-boyfriend because technically you haven't broken up. OK, you're going through stuff, but true love always triumphs in the end. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. Yeah, you might be on a break but it's not over. No sir. Not at all…

Oh, and I have a piece about the film Young Adult and about writing Young Adult fiction in Sunday Times Style this Sunday. Hope you enjoy it!

And if you did enjoy Nine Uses For An Ex-Boyfriend and felt moved to review it on Amazon or GoodReads, that would be neat.

Live on
