When Giovanna's twin brother, Dante, announces he's running for student body president against her boyfriend's friend and
popular candidate, Wilson, things between Giovanna and her boyfriend, Jesse, get a little tense. Jesse's great, the best
boyfriend a girl could ask for...Until he agrees to support Wilson over Dante, who is also a good friend of his. Both Jesse
and Dante say Giovanna's too emotional, and she might agree after she impulsively breaks up with Jesse.
Even though she's campaigning for Dante, she sort of regrets dumping Jesse. Even if he is campaigning for the opposition.
Okay, that's a lie--she completely regrets it, and she wants Jesse back, but Giovanna doesn't want to give up her pride or
her brother's campaign, either. What's a girl to do?
HOW TO TAKE THE EX OUT OF EX-BOYFRIEND is a fantastic book! It's absorbing, entertaining, and moves
quickly enough to be read in an afternoon. All of the characters are great, but Giovanna is an awesome and well-developed
main character, with a great voice. She's someone I definitely wouldn't mind hearing more from! This is a book that is
completely worth reading, and pretty hard to put down, too!
