From the title of this book, I was expecting a deeper approach to what it is to be broken. What I found was way too simplistic, specially for its length.

I will say that there are a few poems that i liked and enjoyed, but they would fit in a 40 pages book.I feel the +450 pages make these few good poems drown in an ocean of repetition. Many of the pages seem like random notes with very low editing or thought put into them.

Apart from the quality of the poetry, my main problem with the book is the message that i was left with.I feel there was a complete lack of empathy in the book. When we talk about breakups and let downs we have in front of us people that are just like us. In most cases we are not breaking up with an evil person. And i think this is what gives complexity and deeper meaning to this process. Sin treats the break ups only as the realization that the other person was undeserving and below him.

We are all flawed and imperfect, but the author does not seem to see any flaws within him. Only his haters, his critics and his ex-lovers are bad. He is very good. This attitude is found through out the book with not even one moment of self-reflection. This made the read for me too detached and self-absorbed, even vengeful.

The section related to women also left me uncomfortable. I appreciate men that try to empathize with the situations women go through, but this felt more like.. "let me tell you how women are...".
