The Breakup Bible Paperback – Large Print, December 23, 2008

This is a novel, not a how to book. It’s about a girl that gets broken up with, not the one that does the breaking up. Well written but not one that you should get to find out the bible on how to break up with someone.

Couldn't put this book down. One of the best books I've ever read. So relatable! Loved it! Can't wait to recommend it to my friends.

I just finished reading "If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince", another book by Melissa Kantor. I couldn't find it on my Kindle, but I stil wanted to review it. It is a wonderful book for people who are in Cinderella's shoes (evil stepmother and stepsisters), but for other people, it is only an OK read. I picked it up anticipating it being about a girl whose parents are divorced, but her mother is dead. I also anticipated the protagonist having a long struggle to find a boyfriend, but she has one for about 85% of the book. I am just a teen looking for someone to relate to. I did not find it in this book. But don't let my tirade about the other book distract you from reading the book whose review space I am using. I haven't read it, but I'm sure it's got at least a few good qualities worthy of your readership.

I read this book once before & it got me through some hard times. So I decided to read it again fantastic book you won't regret it

This was not a bad book. Actually, some parts were pretty funny. The younger brother was great. What bothered me most about this book is the frequent use of the words "retards" and "retarded." I know people use those words, but it is a cruel and derogative word. I just felt the use of the word was uncalled for and other words could have been used. For the main character, Jen Lewis, to be so concerned about racial segregation and her own father being gay, she sure was blind to the fact that using the word "retard" is just as inflammatory and politically incorrect.Honestly, that is one of the reasons I gave the book 2 stars. Otherwise, it wasn't a bad book. The characters grew on me eventually and it was a cute read.

such a good book for someone who just got out of a relationship, or someone who needs something to read. amazing is all that can describe this book.

Jennifer had the perfect boyfriend, the All-American Boy, Max Brown, who she has had a crush on since kindergarten. Everything was fine and peachy for them, or at least that is what Jennifer believed. Out of nowhere Max tells her that he has been thinking about this a lot and just ends their relationships. Heartbroken, Jennifer has no idea what went wrong and is having trouble seeking out the answers, most likely because all she can do is cry in her room.Jennifer's grandmother believes that the only way she can get over the relationship is by reading The Breakup Bible, the pink book with a golden heart torn in the middle, written by Dr. Emory Emerson. At first Jennifer is still too shaken up about the relationship that she can't even think of her ex's five faults (step one of The Breakup Bible). Jennifer is too busy thinking that Max has figured out that he has made the hugest mistake by breaking up with her. She constantly wonders about this when Max seems to be sending mixed signals to her in their journalism class.But as Jennifer begins to see that thinking about Max may not be the healthiest thing for her, she takes Dr. Emerson's book and starts using the ten commandments, from trying to not talk bad about your ex to getting a new hobby. But little does Jennifer know that the changes that occur aren't only because of the book--and that the perfect boyfriend she once had isn't so perfect after all.THE BREAKUP BIBLE is funny, sad, and very sassy all rolled up into one. Melissa Kantor tells the story of Jennifer, who everyone will soon grow to love and cheer for, hoping that she gets together with just the right guy. Not only Jennifer, but also her Nana and mother, makes the story even better. Teen angst never looked so good until THE BREAKUP BIBLE. I say that it is in need of a sequel.Reviewed by: Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen

A great quick read. Perfect for a book for the beach or a lazy afternoon. It will make you laugh and it will make you remember what it’s like through that first breakup.
