The books with a review from Amazon are the ones I have not yet had the chance to obtain a review copy. They have however been recommended to me by professionals in the field as well as consumers.

After the Breakup : Women Sort Through the Rubble and Rebuild Lives of New Possibilities by Angela Watrous, Carole Honeychurch "This book was a life-saver for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone going through a painful breakup. I bought a bunch of self-help books when my breakup happened, and this was far and away the most helpful, insightful, comforting book of all. The authors did a wonderful job with interviewing a wide array of women going through the same pain. When you feel like the only one in the world feeling the way you do, it's great to know that you're not alone. This is one of the most helpful books I've ever read. Buy it, read it, and feel like you'll actually survive the breakup."

Surviving the Breakup : How Children and Parents Cope With Divorce by Judith S. Wallerstein, Joan Berlin Kelly (Contributor) "Based on the Children of Divorce Project, the landmark study of how children, adolescents and their parents cope during the first five years after a family dissolution, Surviving the Breakup revolutionized the way society thought about divorce. Among other things, its findings showed how the adjustment of the child depends more on what happens after the divorce than on conditions in the predivorce family, that the father-child relationship does not diminish in importance regardless of how infrequent their contact becomes and that the child's anger and yearnings can last for an extraordinarily long time.
Written by undisputed authorities on the subject, this work started the debate about divorce and the family, a subject that has since become one of the most important issues in today's political arena. It is a text that all Americans concerned with family values should read."

50 Ways to Love Your Leaver: Getting on With Your Life After the Breakup (Rebuilding Books) by Dwight Webb Ph.D. "Dr. Webb's personal journey becomes a practical guide for those seeking to survive the loss of a love. His sensitive and compassionate style offers hope and encouragement to those in deep despair as they grieve the ending of an intimate relationship. Practical, helpful exercises, "how-to" procedures; Expert guidance; Combines professional expertise with personal experience; Brief, readable, warm and friendly style."

The Breakup Book by Monica Sheehan "This little guide for women who are trying to survive the first month after a breakup advocates some behaviors that may get you in trouble. But hey, if you know you're not going to be able to stop yourself from driving by your ex's house or calling his answering machine just to hear his voice, you may as well get them over with and get to the serious stuff. Down yet another bag of Mallomars; live through that nasty hangover; and move through the requisite phases of denial, depression, revenge fantasies, shopping sprees, and a new, drastically different haircut. You'll inevitably come to the conclusion that you're better off without him. Should you ever need reminding and emotional support (and your friends are thoroughly sick of hearing your whining and play-by-play report of your relationship's failure), turn to this book for strength."

He Loved Me, He Loves Me Not; A Guide to Fudge, Fury, Free Time, and Life Beyond the Breakup by Lynn Harris, Chris Kalb (Illustrator) "Welcome to Splitsville, Population 3: You, Ben, and Jerry. He Loved Me, He Loves Me Not is your guide to surviving a breakup with dignity, humor, and even your stuff. It's also the literary birthplace of the superstar/superhero of the Internet and television, Breakup Girl -- who saves love lives the world over."

Mars and Venus Starting over : A Practical Guide for Finding Love Again After a Painful Breakup, Divorce, or the Loss of a Loved One by John Gray "The book is wonderfully helpful in reaffirming the absolute normality of anger, depression, fear, and sorrow of a painful divorce, breakup, or loss. It's nice to know that it's OK to feel everything and nothing all at once. From the moment I began to read the pages I felt better. Now I that Dr. Gray has helped me discover the problems, I can tackle them and overcome them and learn how to love and be loved better."
