At 31 years old, self-help writer Lisa Cleary experienced a mass layoff, a tumultuous breakup after three years, the subsequent start of a new job, and two unexpected moves in three months. Cleary ditches the cheerleader mantra in this breakup survival guide to share her awkward, snarky account of her meltdown — like how it feels to live alone for the first time and why she resents her friends — all from the perspective of a never-married female and everyone’s go-to bridesmaid.
Cleary’s hilarious portrayal of getting over the milestone mentality at her age will help you get over your breakup — and then over yourself.
