Q3_NR#2 – The Break Up Bible

Jennifer Lewis was having a great junior year, just as how she wanted it to be.  She was the features editor of the school paper, and is dating Max Brown, the paper's editor-in-chief. Everything was totally perfect, until Max told her it would be better if they were just friends. Shocked, Jen wonders how she was going to deal with the pain of seeing Max and his friends in school every day. Making matters worse, she catches him kissing another girl from the school paper, where she also works. Jen couldn't sleep, or get out of bed, facing the outside world. Everyday, she would cry continuously, with the thoughts wandering in her mind, "I could die of heartache." Even with supportive friends and family — and opportunities to advance her journalism career, it really takes lots of time to move on. Her misery only intensifies when her grandmother gives her a book that she heard about on the radio. Dr. Emerson's 'The Breakup Bible' claims that "there's no reason a woman can't get over a breakup very quickly if she'll just follow a few basic commandments." In the beginning, Jen was completely skeptical about The Breakup Bible because it looked totally phony and since she couldn't find any faults with Max, she didn't even try moving on. However, when she starts actually taking the "commandments" seriously, she, then, really did thought of moving on, and forget all about the past of her and Max. Even the best ones.
