This review is from: How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend (Hardcover)
Sometimes a person just gets so sick of angst ridden books for teens that it's nice to see a novel that portrays teenage life for what it is. Not all teens life lives of quiet desperation. Some of us actually enjoy our lives. Seriously, as soon as I'd read the first sentence I was hooked for the night. Loved loved loved it!!!!

How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend, January 2, 2008
This review is from: How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend (Hardcover)
This book was... good. I read it in less than a day, but I don't think I'd credit that to it being overly fantastic. I just think it was good. Nothing more than that, at least not in my opinion. It was kind of original, with the student body president election and everything, but it just seems like everything worked out too perfect for it to be taken realistically. I can understand a happy ending, but something about this just seemed too peachy for me. But in all honesty, the book kept me entertained. It was good for a light read. It was funny, and fun to read.

This review is from: How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend (Hardcover)
When Giovanna's twin brother, Dante, announces he's running for student body president against her boyfriend's friend and popular candidate, Wilson, things between Giovanna and her boyfriend, Jesse, get a little tense. Jesse's great, the best boyfriend a girl could ask for...Until he agrees to support Wilson over Dante, who is also a good friend of his. Both Jesse and Dante say Giovanna's too emotional, and she might agree after she impulsively breaks up with Jesse.
Even though she's campaigning for Dante, she sort of regrets dumping Jesse. Even if he is campaigning for the opposition. Okay, that's a lie--she completely regrets it, and she wants Jesse back, but Giovanna doesn't want to give up her pride or her brother's campaign, either. What's a girl to do?
HOW TO TAKE THE EX OUT OF EX-BOYFRIEND is a fantastic book! It's absorbing, entertaining, and moves quickly enough to be read in an afternoon. All of the characters are great, but Giovanna is an awesome and well-developed main character, with a great voice. She's someone I definitely wouldn't mind hearing more from! This is a book that is completely worth reading, and pretty hard to put down, too!
