The Breakup Bible by: Melissa Kantor

the breakup bible was a book the i happened across while seeking out duplicates of books to make room for more in the library i work at. i saw this book and read the back cover, which made me laugh, so i checked it out and read it (in the course of 2 hours, a VERY quick read). i was able to relate to so many aspects of the breakup of the main character, jen, and i felt so sad for her!! i also was laughing at the humor and voice that this story was full of.
there are a few negative things about this book though..the different plot lines weren't intertwined well at ALL! like, you could SEE exactly where the story was going; the shifts were not subtle..
so, overall, a relate able story that was semi poorly written..ahh i feel terrible saying that, but it is unfortunately true. i think if the story had JUST been about the breakup, it would have been much better. also, the author seemed to put emphasis on weird words via italics, which was just awkward..
anyway, maybe don't read this one..
happy reading :)
