My review:
This is a really cute book about heartbreaks and how to overcome them. I really enjoyed this story, and thought it was a creative idea for a book. I really enjoyed seeing Max do her job. She know exactly how guys act (for the most part), and it cool that she is so good at her job. She does make some mistakes though, and tries her best to fix them. It just shows that not everyone is the same, and we all do things differently.
My main problem with this book was that we didn’t get to see enough of Ben. I really liked him and was disappointed that his story with Max didn’t take up more of the book. I was also frustrated with how quickly he forgives Max. It was like the authors were ready to wrap up the books, so they made it end really fast.
This is a light read that I would recommend reading. It does how language and some sexual content in it, so it may not be for younger teens.
