Breaking Up With Brad is the first in a series of short stories written by Annette Blake. Each story is an unconventional tale about love, dating, sex and romance that includes something (completely made up) about someone famous. The stories are anything but predictable and the first of the stories and title of the book is a seriously funny yet heartwarming tale about friendship and love that will have you laughing and crying all at the same time. Adrianna is sick and tired of her friends and family constantly trying to hook her up with the next available bachelor that stumbles across any of their paths. Adrianna is especially fed up with her mother and oldest friend Andi’s meddling. So much so that when she is pushed to her limit and can’t take anymore, she takes a huge chance that just happens to be based on a complete lie (and also happens to include A list actor, Bradley Cooper). The lie, which Adrianna stands behind and feels is necessary shuts down all of her friends as well as her mother from wanting to hook her up with another single man again. Ever. It also changes an entire group of friends' relationships with each other…forever.
