by Melissa KantorSummary: After Jen's first love dumps her for a girl who works with them both on their high school newspaper staff, she doesn't think she'll be able to move on. Her grandmother, in a misguided attempt to help, gives her a self-help book called The Breakup Bible, which offers up cheesy and cliche advice for heartbroken girls. At first she throws it out, but soon decides she needs all the help she can get. The advice is so bad it's hilarious, but sometimes it makes Jen think. An interesting side plot about racial segregation at their high school is well done and thought-provoking.
My thoughts: Not your typical girly book. This one has class and brains!
