 The Breakup Bible: An OK read. November 24, 2007
This was a pretty good book. Although, I wouldn't say it was fantabulously amazing and should be recommended to the whole world, it was okay. Unfortunately, a bit too predictable and follows the same storylines as the millions of teen books that already came out before it.
I wish that the author would have focused more on the other characters too, not just Jen. :-/
It was a fun read, but it dragged on for a pretty long time. I did think that some of the witty things Jen said were hilarious though (about the breakup bible and her grandmother). I also liked that Kantor created her father as a gay man with his boyfriend- it was inventive, inclusive, and not to mention two funny characters.
This is a good book for preteens and a light read for older teens. It was fun to read and passed the time in government class.

 so true to life November 8, 2007
I loved this book. It's so honest and real. Funny, too!
Told from the dumpee's point of view, The Breakup Bible asks the eternal questions, What happened? If everything was going fine, why'd he break up with me? Jen's character desperately wants to get back with her ex, and he keeps acting like he does, too, leaving her wondering what the deal is. With the support of her best friends, Jen eventually finds out.

This book was great. Truly great. I've read Melissa Kantor's other two novels, Confessions of a Not-It Girl and If I Have A Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince? and I think this book is just as great as those. It shows one girl, Jenny, and her troubles with getting over her first love. After all, he was such a great guy.
I won't spoil the ending, but let me tell you, it's probably the best that I could have asked for. Perfect in the way only a novel can be. I would definitely recommend anything by Melissa Kantor, just because she writes some of my favorite books.
 Breaking up is hard to do. May 25, 2007

It all starts at The End. The moment when Jen Lewis gets her heart broken by her boyfriend Max who's supposed to love her. Jen is devastated, heartbroken, confused and doesn't understand why this has all happened. The she thinks about school and how she cant show her face there in fear of running into Max.
Suffering through the pain, Jen's Nana gives her a gift... a self help book called The Breakup Bible. ALong with the bokos and the help of her two best friends, Martha and Clara, she treids to mend her broken heart and move on. It's something she feels like is the impossible, but is it really?
I think this is a story that any teenage girl can relate to and should read and recommend to any of their friends who have suffered from a broken heart.
Great Read!! May 4, 2007

This wonderfully sad and yet upbeat story of a teen who thinks she has the perfect boyfriend and the perfect relationship has to come to terms with the fact that she has been dumped - and more is yet to come.
This book is well written, the storyline is interesting and keeps you involved.
I felt for J-Lo and could relive my own pain at being dumped. I also admire the way in which the author makes her main character wallow, but never makes her look like a victim or more importantly whiny and self destructive.
Well writen and inspirational.
Great read!
