Book Review: Dumped!: Fun & Games Activity Book Featuring Word Scrambles, Connect-the-Dots & in-depth Psychiatric Analysis for the Unexpectedly Single

If you've ever been dumped, you likely know how hard it is sometimes to just get through the day. Days when anything from a song to a piece of clothing to a smell reminds you of the person you've been trying to so hard to erase from your mind. Or at the very least, get to a point where they're not all you think about all day, all the time. If you're having some trouble getting to that point, "Dumped!: Fun & Games Activity Book Featuring Word Scrambles, Connect-the-Dots & in-depth Psychiatric Analysis for the Unexpectedly Single" is the perfect book for you.

Despite the absurdly long title, this book is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Designed much like a kid's activity book with fill-ins and word searches about getting dumped, the book is sure tp keep you as entertained as any of those kiddie books. But don't be fooled, the language and subject matter (like the page that asks you to list how many words you can form out of the word COCKSUCKER) is for grown-ups only.

"Dumped" splits its time between Samantha and Sam, two poor souls down in the dumps (lazy pun intended). Author Josh Lewis takes Samantha and Sam on a journey through the stages of being dumped and uses sometimes silly interactive games and activities that are sure to at least bring a smile to your face, if not cause you to actually -gasp!- laugh out loud. Pages include the "Pissed of Word Search" that has you searching for words like "scumbucket" and "hosebag." Sure it's a little silly and some of the activities are a little far-fetched and impossible to solve, but they will make you laugh. And in times of despair, of seemingly unfailing heartbreak and pain, any laugh you can get is priceless. Whenever you regress to the point of tears or you start wallowing in the what ifs, pull out this book and do a page or two. Not only will you laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of it, but you might actually realize a thing or two about yourself and your relationship in the process. And though laughter may be the best medicine, closure is a close second.
