30 DAYS TO GETTING OVER THE DORK YOU USED TO CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND Clea Hantman Trade Paperback | Delacorte Books for Young Readers | 978-0-385-73549-0 (0-385-73549-9) | January 2008 | $7.99 | Ages 12 up

Breaking up is hard.

Unless you have a good book to erase the dork.

It’s easy getting over a broken romance with a self-help book that offers a haiku with every chapter, and a song list to provide the perfect soundtrack for your 30 days of regrouping. In fact, your heartbreak (and any lingering thoughts of the ex) will be gone in three easy steps:

Step One: Read this heartbreak handbook by Clea Hantman

Step Two: Complete the 30 activities to get your mind off the breakup: Some you’ll have to call on friends for, some are all about you.

Step Three: Revel in the fact that with a little self-help book, you are now in charge of your feelings again.

And don’t forget the song of the day: Good Charlotte’s, “I Don’t Want to Be in Love,”

Play it as a salute to your new, confident, and dork-free life.
