Andy and his girlfriend recently broke up and he's having a very hard time getting over her.  This story is about him post break-up.  I listened to the audio and I have no complaints there.  I thought that it was really well done.  Where I do have my complaints is with Andy.  I really couldn't stand his character and just kept thinking to myself I wish that he would just get over her and himself already.  The self pity was annoying to keep reading about.  I actually enjoyed the book more towards the end where he is finally getting his life back together.  There were some funny bits, but I had thought this book was more of a comedy than it actually was.  I really liked that the girlfriend got to share her point of view at the end, it made the book a bit better.
