Dump ‘Em: How to Break Up with Anyone from Your Best Friend to Your Hairdresser

Women are taught to be polite, quiet, demure. Making waves = a big no-no, even if someone’s done you some serious wrong, whether it’s your boyfriend cheating on you or a manicurist nipping your cuticles one too many times. But all this sweetness and light on the outside can lead to a seriously ready-to-burst madwoman on the inside… So what’s a modern girl to do that won’t land her on Jerry Springer or the like? Learn to stand up for yourself with grace, humor, and the book Dump 'Em: How to Break Up with Anyone from Your Best Friend to Your Hairdresser, by Jodyne Speyer. As one of our fave comediennes, Sarah Silverman, so aptly said about this book, it’s “...figured out a way to sever the ties that so many of us would rather miserably live with forever” without burning our bridges. Consider it Miss Manners for the 21st century.
