Getting over Mr Right - Synopsis
When Ashley Prince gets dumped, she gets mad. Quite literally. This is the story of one girl’s attempts to win her ex back by screaming, stalking and a little light witchcraft. It’s a ‘how not to’ book for anyone who’s ever had their heart broken.
Inspiration for Getting Over Mr. Right
What can I say? This book was inspired by almost twenty years’ worth of disastrous dating! Though the bad guy, Michael, is not based on anyone I really went out with. I swear. And I have never taken advice from a telephone psychic who channels a cat.
Extract
It goes without saying that there is no nice way to be dumped. But there are definitely some ways that cause less toe-curling anguish than others. A face-to-face conversation or a phone call if you’re dating long-distance seem to be the best of a bad bunch. A hand-written letter would show some respect. But since Eighties pop-star and very unlikely heartthrob Phil Collins dumped his first wife by fax, standards of ending etiquette have been dropping dramtically. From Phil’s fax to the horror of email to Britney dumping K-Fed by SMS. Oh, how I wish my ex had had the old-fashioned decency to dump me by text message! You see I, Ashleigh Prince, found out that I had been dumped via Facebook.
