We've all been there. High School. In love with some tool. Dumped by said tool. Devastated.
However, after being dumped I did not have to fly halfway around the world with said Dumper and his new girl toy with HUGE boobs (whom he was cheating with.) Poor girl. I did feel a certain amount of sisterly love and pity for her in the beginning.
BUT
seriously, she was in Italy. Put on your big girl panties and suck it up a little. Yeah, the situation sucked and I know in High School it seems like your world is over when 'the love of your life' breaks your heart, but COME ON already, She was in Italy!!! It's not like it was just the 3 of them, it was an entire drama group. The moping got pretty old.
The "Instructions" from Jessa's best-friend were a little ridiculous. I give Jessa some props from some of the things she did. I am a little chicken and wouldn't have done half of it!
My # 1 complaint though is this book is far too similiar to 13 Little Blue Envelopes, only not as good. I got a little bored. Next stop on my complaining tour is the little poetry/journal entries. I have no idea why, but they just bothered me. They were Pretentious . It didn't feel like something the immature character I was getting to know through her actions would be writing. I do have to admit though, it really couldn't have been to terrible if I finished it in 2 days, could it?!?!?! No, it wasn't terrible. I did have a little fun with it.
bottomline: If you're interested, try it out. You might be pleasantly suprised. I however, was not. Fans of Chick-lit for Young Adults will probably like this.

Sidenote: I <3 Dylan Thomas. Now that was a character I wish we could have had more of!!!
