In one significant way, Bill Shapiro was destined to write this book. As a young summer camper, this future LIFE editor returned to his bunk one afternoon to find an extremely terse romantic sendoff. In its entirety, it read, "Billy, I like Jason." Recycling his personal lemons as collective lemonade, Shapiro has gathered together a veritable hall of fame of Dear John missives, rejection letters, relationship extinguishers, and job killers. Share the grief; share the giggles.
