Good Break-Up Books

[ohmygoodness]

Ok, so my little sister just broke up with her "boyfriend" of sorts, and I'm looking for a good book to buy her. She's going away to camp, and wants something to read while she's there. So, typically, it should be like teen-focused, with a female protagonist who kicks some male ass. Lol.

Any suggestions?

seriously... I highly recommend It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken : The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy by Greg Behrendt, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

hmm, it's not quite teen focused, but it's a FUNNY book that still provides really good insight, so I think it may still be good. I use it for all my breakups

I always read the Judy Blume (adolescent) books whenever I had a breakup.

Ooooh - how about "The Summer of My German Soldier"? - very bittersweet, coming of age.

Well 2 weeks ago I never thought I'd be reading this book, but I am. I guess I should have read He's Just Not That Into You, and jumped the gun on the X. A friend got it for me from the library and I'm glad she did, it's helping me cope. I may even go out and buy it, I may need it again if this breakup don't kill me.

Aha, my friend just bought some book called 'I miss my ex but my aim is improving'. I think thats the title.

You silly girls and your need for break-up books. Can't you just internalize your pain and carry baggage for the rest of your lives?
