BreakupBabe
Title: BreakupBabe
Author: Rebecca Agiewich
Copyright date: 2006
Publisher: Ballantine Books
How many pages: 337
How long it took me to read: A little over a week

Category: Chick Lit / Blogging
I learned about this book from: Seeing it at Target
This book was purchased at: Target :)
This book is: Funny and addictive, and something you can totally relate to if you're a girl who's had her heartbroken, dated a loser, and is/was afraid of the single life.
Other books by this author: n/a
I would recommend this book: Pretty much to any girl, for sure.
Favorite characters: Actually, Needy Girl and Sensible Girl.. ahahaha.
Least favorite Characters: Loser and Loserette :)
When and Where the story takes place: On Rachel's blog, but it's also interlaced with actual goings on.
Plot in a nutshell: Rachel is a writer whose boyfriend breaks up with her. She decides to start a blog to vent her pain and quickly gets addicted to it. The blog ends up stirring up some trouble for her, but it also helps her in a dream to publish a book.
Main characters: Rachel aka "BreakupBabe"
What I liked best: I really liked reading her blogs and comments. It's just like real life, when you see that there are 5 comments, you're like "Yesssss!" but if there's none, you're sad, haha. It's also pretty sweet that they link you to her ACTUAL blog of the same name.
What I liked least: I would have liked more closure in the end, but the ending was pretty hopeful and promising, so that's good.

Overall Rating: Great book for anyone with a brokenheart, or who has suffered one recently. People I think should read it: Hailey, Laura, Kristen, Jamie, Candy :)
