In the throes of heartbreak, Emperor Nero had just about everyone he  ever loved-from his old tutor to most of his friends-put to death. Oscar  Wilde's lover, \u003ci\u003ewhom he went to jail for\u003c\/i\u003e, abandoned him when  faced with being cut off financially from his wealthy family and wrote  several self-serving books denying the entire affair. And poor volatile  Caroline Lamb sent Lord Byron one hell of a torch letter and enclosed a  bloody lock of her own pubic hair. Your obsessive social media stalking  of your ex isn't looking so bad now, is it?\u003cbr\u003eWith a wry wit and  considerable empathy, Wright digs deep into the archives to bring these  thirteen terrible breakups to life. She educates, entertains, and really  puts your own bad breakup conduct into perspective. \u003ci\u003eIt Ended Badly\u003c\/i\u003e  is for anyone who's ever loved and lost and maybe sent one too many  ill-considered late-night emails to their ex, reminding us that no  matter how badly we've behaved, no one is as bad as Henry VIII.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holt, Henry \u0026 Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149090341104,"sku":"9781627792875","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781627792875_p0.jpg?v=1769905414","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781627792875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
