What Parents Need to Know
About The Breakup Bible
Parents need to know that the main plot here involves a girl's attempt to get her life back together after her first real boyfriend breaks up with her. She recounts kissing him, and even a night when he asked her not to go home. Characters swear, and there are also some scenes in which teens -- including the protagonist -- drink.

The Breakup Bible
So So... i think this book could use some more life in it and i think that maby they should have ended the book better by not saying that Jen said y.e.s... i think that this book was very boaring for how long it took... but then again im an older person and i think this book would be so much better for young teenagers...
