Overview
This is a hilarious book that will teach women how to dump guys like me. -Steve Martin

Synopsis
Irreverent yet practical, supportive, knowing, and very, very funny, How to Dump a Guy is a wise, refreshing book about how to end relationships. It is a coward's manual that takes the reader's hand from the first sign that it's over to the aftershocks. There are the Dumping Do's and Don'ts. A typology of difficult-to-dump men, including Cling-ons and Reject Addicts. A checklist of things to do before your Big Day (for example, Getting Your Stuff Back). What to wear to a ditching (think Audrey Hepburn) and where to stage it, including the popular restaurant (do choose a place within your own means, because there's a very strong possibility he won't be picking up the check). Tried-and-true dumping lines-"I'm a little confused about my sexual orientation" and "I love you too much-it scares me." And, finally, how to use the techniques of master spin doctors to control the story so you'll be up and dating again in no time.
