"Breakup Babe: a novel" by Rebecca Agiewich
What could be more fun in terms of contemporary chick lit than a story about a smart young woman who, when dumped by her boyfriend "Loser," starts a blog about the adventures of Breakup Babe which chronicles her post-dumping exploits with various HBIBs (hot but inappropriate boys)? That's what I thought when I first picked up this book, but I had a much harder time getting through it. Although there are many witty quips, funny exploits and clever ideas within (the personification of General Celexa, and two alter egos - Needy Girl and Sensible Girl - being one of the most notable, entertaining quirks) the book as a whole didn't engage me and draw me along.
It's a decent book as far as chick lit goes, and worth wading through to the ending which is the strongest part of the story, but there are more stellar examples available if you're looking for something in this genre.
