The Breakup Doctor is book one in The Breakup Doctor series. Bedside Manners is book two and Heart Conditions is book three. I haven’t gotten to book four yet.

This series will make you laugh, it may even make you cry, and I’m sure it will make you think back on some of your own relationships as in “been there, done that,” maybe even “got the T-shirt.” Brook and Sasha have been best friends all throughout their childhood and into their adult lives, which is a remarkable thing. They know the true meaning of friendship - being there for one another no matter what.

The Breakup Doctor starts this series off with Brook (who is a mental health counselor) losing her practice, but this only led to a huge opportunity, a door if you will, opening up for her, with Sasha’s insistence. Thus, began her Breakup Doctor practice. You will also be highly entertained with Brook’s own relationships. Funny in that she counsels people through their own breakups, quite effectively, but is unable to counsel herself. Sasha does that, and Sasha is very good at it.

Bedside Manners takes us through more of Brook’s relationships, her heartache, her what the heck did I just do moments and a surprising turn in Sasha’s life. One neither one of them saw coming, for the good but still … such an un-Sasha like thing. Brook also is moving her Breakup Doctor practices into other avenues finding out that she’s a really good counselor for others, but still not able to mend her own heart.

Heart Conditions leads us to the confrontation that Brook has needed to mend her own heart, to learn to forgive … Michael. I think if you have ever had your heart broken like Brook did, you’ll find through this series that we need to learn to forgive ourselves, look back at some of our mistakes and laugh at them, learn to forgive others before we can really move on.

At the heart of this series are some “real-life” lessons, I think, with a humorous twist. Ms. Fox takes on some pretty tough subjects but delivers them in a relatable, realistic way that most of us can relate to, but there are some underlying lessons we can all learn and benefit from.

If you’ve had your heart broken and need a good chuckle or two, maybe even an excuse to cry and let it out, give this series a read. Admittedly, this is not my typical read but I really enjoyed this series, chuckled a time or two, and now need to read book four to see how it all wraps up for Brook and Sasha.
