    About this ebook

    Candid, relatable stories by established and emerging women writers about being discarded by someone from whom they expected more: a close female friend.







    There are 161 million women in America today, and our friendships are still as primary and universal as back when Ruth and Naomi, Elizabeth and Susan B., and Thelma and Louise made history. When a romantic relationship breaks up, no problem—there’s an Adele song for that. Health concerns; problems in school; issues at the workplace? We’ve got our chums to prop us up. Until we don’t. When our most sustaining relationships dissolve—those with the women friends in our lives—there’s never been the fanfare that accompanies the loss of other relationships society deems “more important.” Until now.







    In Dumped: Stories of Women Unfriending Women, twenty-five established and emerging writers—including Jacquelyn Mitchard, Ann Hood, Carrie Kabak, Jessica Handler, Elizabeth Searle, Alexis Paige, and editor Nina Gaby—explore the fragile, sometimes humorous, and often unfathomable nature of lost friendship. These, like your own, are stories that stay with you—maybe for a lifetime.

      "Stories of Women Unfriending Women" Offers the insight of many different individual women and the dissolution of a long (sometimes lifetime friendship). I found it valuable and one in particular proffered a reason that had never occurred to me or my therapist but I'm sure had a hand in my losses.

      Dumped is akin to sitting around with a glass of wine while sharing difficult memories with good friends. Sure, broken romantic relationships are painful but broken friendships are often worse; especially when there’s no explanation, just unreturned communications and unanswered questions. Wasn’t this the person who would stick with you through thick or thin? Who knew you inside and out, the ugly included. You’d bared your souls to each other. What changed? What was or wasn’t done? Why? We aren’t talking the gradual fading or growing apart that frequently occurs with physical moves or life changes. These are sudden, wrenching, bewildering, and hurtful. One minute they’re there and the next they aren’t. Where’d they go? Were there signs? What happened? What was missed? All that remains is conjecture, pain, and memories.DUMPED has a story for every woman who’s been dumped, has dumped, or both. While every story may not speak to you, you’re sure to find several that do. Personally, the one that spoke the loudest was How I Lost Her. The most baffling was Ten Days.DUMPED allows readers to commiserate and find solace. It’s a keeper, to be taken out whenever the need for comfort may arise, a reminder that you aren’t alone.Reviewed for Miss Ivy’s Book Nook Take II, Manic Readers, & Novels Alive TV
