Zoë was the Cosmopolitan relationship advice person for almost 10 years, and wrote Textbook Romance - two things that are meant to make you believe she is authorised to tell you what to do with your heart and head when you're being annihilated by a break-up.
But mostly, she was just really, really shit at break-ups for a long time, and did some really embarrassing, borderline illegal stuff, so she created this app to save you the same humiliation when you’re knee-deep in your own filthy break-up swamp.
Break-ups are awful, and they’re very real, but that doesn’t mean they get to take over your whole life for a year.
YOU can take charge. YOU can be the boss of your break-up. YOU can choose to see it as a gift. And well you dang should! Life is too short not to learn and grow from our romantic upheavals, then move the hell forward.
Break-Up Boss gives you all of the tools and techniques (and lots of lectures – cute!) to deal with all of the stages of your break-up, and just as you need them: in your phone, as you’re about to call your ex/have another shot of Tequila. This is a Real Life, no-nonsense picture of a break-up, and an enthusiastic, empowered and positive view of how to deal with it.
Think of it as a teeny-weeny pocket coach! Always on your side, and with a singular goal: to get you through this break-up in a positive, healthy fashion, and over onto the sunny, unicorn-saturated hill of self-confidence and happiness. Or at the very least, not text your ex just cos it’s Sunday and you're sad and hungover and fancy some hanky panky.
Mari Andrew is a NYC based writer and illustrator whose witty, brilliant, original, adorable, omg-that-is-so-TRUE/ME comics on Instagram have garnered her a overnight global audience. Mari’s take on dating, single life and heartbreak is particularly insightful, as the illustrations through Break-Up Boss quickly prove. Zoë has an enormous crush on Mari, and still can’t believe she agreed to work with her on this app.
Break-Up Boss is changing people’s lives! And if you don’t believe us, just read these glowing testimonials, only some of which are fake.
