Summary

When your relationship is on life support, the Breakup Doctor is on call: “Fresh, funny, and real—I adored it!” —Beth Kendrick, author of Cure for the Common Breakup   If love is a battlefield, then therapist Brook Ogden, aka the Breakup Doctor, is the cavalry. She counsels those with broken hearts—and luckily, her own love life is now in full recovery. After a long, tortuous road, she and Ben Garrett are finally headed down the aisle.   But when a local TV personality—and former frenemy—invites Brook onto her show, she’s blindsided live on the air when the interview turns into an act of long-delayed revenge meant to publicly humiliate her. Brook’s an expert at getting back on your feet when life knocks you down, but as the blows keep piling on—with a betrayal she never saw coming and a family crisis that threatens to pull the foundation out from under her—her confidence starts slinking away. With her clients dropping her faster than a one-night stand, suddenly the Breakup Doctor’s career is in critical care.   Brimming with both the sublime and theridiculous aspects of love—romantic and otherwise—Out of Practice is a funny and heartwarming tale about loss, grief, and failure that will resonate with all who have loved, lost . . . and dared to love again.   “As heartwarming as they are humorous—Fox’s books offer more than the usual chick lit fare, with a lot of heart and a smart, relatable heroine.” —Sarah Bird, author of The Boyfriend School   “Fox’s books are like a box of fine chocolates. Not to be eaten quickly but to be savored and enjoyed.” —Fresh Fiction   “Fox has given us characters that are lovably fallible, funny, and frazzled, and has proven that when it comes to love and relationships of any kind, even the sanest of us get a little crazy.” —Elisa Lorello, bestselling author of Faking It
