This review is from: Why You No Scream Viva?! My Big Mexican Adventure That Taught Me How to Live, Love, and Laugh Again (Paperback)

For those who has gone through a heart-rending break-up or divorce, this book will delight you. For most, this is uncharted territory. Where life once seemed mapped as a predictable stretch of road, there is now a black, mysterious tunnel of a future ahead.

Brooke Martello gives us her story.... raising herself like a Phoenix from the ashes of a long-term relationship. We are able to live with her through her ups and downs and epiphanies. Such a heart-warming book.

Read it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the lovelorn., August 12, 2013
By C. A. Harris
This review is from: Why You No Scream Viva?! My Big Mexican Adventure That Taught Me How to Live, Love, and Laugh Again (Paperback)

This semi-autobiographical novel is an authentic documentation of true love discarded and disrespected. I recommend it to those who need inspiration to pick themselves up and start over after being in a one-sided love relationship. It's true that not everyone can pick up and move to Mexico to overcome these heartbreaks, but a person with imagination and inspiration can use the experience to pave a road to their own recovery and find the joy that life holds for them. The book is well written and filled with laughable situations as well as giving a glimpse into the problems that people from the U.S. might experience if moving to Mexico.

It shares the true feelings of an intelligent, educated author who picked herself up from a truly degrading experience and moved on to find happiness and self-fulfillment after a devastating life-lesson.
