How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend

HOW TO TAKE THE EX OUT OF EX-BOYFRIEND: Janette Rallison: Putnam Juvenile: Young Adult: 265 pages

Sixteen-year-old Giovanna Petrizzo finds it hard enough to fit in. Three years since her family moved to Texas, she’s still the newcomer compared to everyone around her. It doesn’t help matters when her twin brother, Dante, takes on the mayor’s son by running for class president. The least she could expect, though, would be for her boyfriend, Jesse, to support their cause. But Jesse’s apparent defection triggers Giovanna’s rash emotional side, and before she knows it, she’s turned Jesse from the boy of her dreams to the ex-boyfriend she dreams of winning back.

This was a quick, enjoyable read. I laughed out loud at some of the predicaments Giovanna gets herself into. I would recommend to anyone looking for something light and humorous.
