A book series you don’t want to miss…not your typical chick lit…will make you laugh out loud… Fox’s books are charming and funny, but they still manage to give us dating advice we can actually use.

Brook Ogden, licensed mental health counselor, is an expert at picking up the pieces after things come apart.
She’s coached her best friend through more dating disasters than the Bachelorette, and when her mom suddenly announces she’s leaving the family home to resume her decades-delayed acting career (if their small-town Florida community theater qualifies as such), calm, levelheaded Brook holds the rest of the family together. Even when her traditional therapy practice literally collapses under a wrecking ball she maintains perfect control: landing on her feet with a weekly advice-to-the-lovelorn column and a successful consulting service as the Breakup Doctor: on call to help you shape up after a breakup.
But when her own relationship suddenly crumbles, Brook finds herself helplessly engaging in some spectacularly bad breakup behavior of her own—including rebounding with the most inappropriate of men: a dangerously hot bartender with anger-management issues—who also happens to be a former patient.
As her increasingly out-of-control behavior lands her at rock-bottom, Brook realizes you can’t always handle the messy parts of life neatly—and sometimes you can’t pull yourself together until you let yourself fall apart.

One of the great things about this series is the growth and change we see in each of the characters. The books are not just the same old, same old where the characters aren’t learning from their mistakes. They actually move forward with their lives and relationships change.
