The Breakup Monologues

Mixing humour, heartache, and science, award-winning comedian, author and accidental relationship guru Rosie Wilby embarks on a quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. Tragedy plus time equals comedy, right? In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email, though she did feel a little better about it after correcting her ex's spelling and punctuation. Obsessing about breakups ever since, she embarked on a quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. That quest proved to be a creatively fertile one, resulting in Rosie's acclaimed podcast 'The Breakup Monologues'. This book is a love letter to her breakups, a celebration of what they have taught her peppered with anecdotes from friends and interviews with relationship therapists and sociologists about separating in the modern age of ghosting, breadcrumbing, and conscious uncoupling.
