"Therapist Brook Ogden is a genius when it comes to helping people push past the crazy stage and mend their broken hearts, but when Brook suffers her own heartbreak, will she take her own advice? (Answer: no, which is why this book is so funny.)" - Glamour (on The Breakup Doctor)
When your relationship is on life support, the Breakup Doctor is on call.
There's no shortage of broken hearts in Breakup Doctor Brook Ogden's successful breakup counseling practice--if love is a battlefield, then Brook is the cavalry. Luckily her own love life is in full recovery: after a long, tortuous road, she and Ben Garrett are finally headed down the aisle.
But when a local TV personality--and former frenemy--invites Brook onto her show, she's blindsided live on the air when the interview turns into an act of long-delayed revenge meant to publicly humiliate her. Brook's an expert at getting back on your feet when life knocks you down, but as the blows keep piling on--with a betrayal she never saw coming and a family crisis that threatens to pull the foundation out from under her--her confidence starts slinking away. With her clients dropping her faster than a one-night stand, suddenly the Breakup Doctor's career is in critical care.
Brimming with both the sublime and ridiculous aspects of love--romantic and otherwise--Out of Practice is a funny and heartwarming tale about loss, grief, and failure that will resonate with all who have loved, lost...and dared to love again.
