How to Take the Ex Out ofEx-Boyfriend
Janette Rallison, . . Putnam, $15.99 (265pp) ISBN 978-0-399-24617-3
Giovanna has never liked her boyfriend’s snotty friends, but it’s not until he agrees to be popular Wilson’s campaign manager in the student body presidential election—instead of her twin brother Dante’s—that she publicly tells him “Jesse, we are over!” But it does not take her long to realize that she wants him back, preferably contrite, and a matchmaking friend helps her hatch a scheme. Giovanna is an amiable character “with a talent for making mistakes,” some of which are quite hilarious; she mixes up her grandmother’s loser neighbor with her blind date, ending up at dinner with a gambling addict who nicknames her “Panther,” because he thinks she aggressively asked him out. (Jesse and his friends are at the same restaurant to witness her humiliation, of course.) Rallison (
