Breaking Up is Hard to Do
To be honest, when I first saw the title of this book I assumed: a) teen couples, b) major drama, c) confusion and love triangles, d) cute boys, or e) all of the above. But when I opened the cover and read the first few pages, I realized I was definitely wrong. (Hey, they say don't judge a book by it's cover, right?) Although this novel does have the characteristic chick lit baseline, it's on a much deeper level than I expected. It isn't just some cutesy story…
Christine Lee, a witty, spunky and artistic teen has just spent an amazing summer with her closest pals the Miracle Girls: Ana, Zoe, Riley and Christine. They’ve managed to become closer than ever, but the beginning of the school year threatens to test their friendship. It also doesn't help that things at home aren't exactly peachy for Christine. After only a little over a year since her mother's death in a horrible car accident, Christine's dad is already engaged to former Miss California Candace (aka “The Bimbo”). Plotting to break up their engagement, Christine scrambles to pull together her drifting friends.
At first glance, the book may seem like it’s about couples breaking up, but really it’s about a breaking up with friends, breaking up with family and breaking off from problems of the past, too. Christine is not your cookie-cutter teen—she's a character with emotions and thoughts that is easy to relate to. If you're looking for a good book to curl up on the couch with, this is the one.
Find out if the Miracle Girls can make it through another year of high school, and if Christine can finally come to terms with her mother's death and her father's remarriage.
Breaking Up is Hard to Do by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt hits stores April 16.
