Dispensing priceless advice such as "Never date someone in a band," "Once a cheater, always a cheater," and "When someone says they want you just for sex—chances are they want you just for sex," this hilarious parody of clichéd, saccharine relationship books offers an inspiringly jaundiced view of love.

This beautifully illustrated self-help book for the love-weary appropriates scenes from a lifetime of failed relationships. Its intelligent, droll commentary on the nature of love is ultimately informative—if in unexpected ways.
