Some sixteen-year-olds babysit for extra cash. Some work at the mall. Becca Williamson breaks up couples.  ecca knows from experience the damage that love can do. After all, it was so-called love that turned Huxley from her childhood best friend into a social-world dictator, and love that left Becca's older sister devastated at the altar. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, Becca strikes back—for just one hundred dollars via PayPal, she will trick and manipulate any couple's relationship into smithereens. And with relationship zombies overrunning her school and treating single girls as if they're second-class citizens, business is unfortunately booming. Even Becca's best friend, Val, has resorted to outright lies to snag a boyfriend. One night, Becca receives a mysterious offer to break up the most popular couple in school: Huxley and the football team's star player, Steve. To succeed, she'll have to plan her most elaborate scheme to date—starting rumors, sabotaging cell phones, breaking into cars…not to mention sneaking back into Huxley's good graces. All while fending off the inappropriate feelings she may or may not be having for Val's new boyfriend. No one said being the Break-Up Artist would be easy.

3.0 The Break-Up Artist
The plot of The Break-Up Artist bothered me. It bothered me a lot. Not because it was a story about someone purposely sabotaging relationships. That part was actually pretty interesting.What bothered me was the "life without a boy isn't worth living" mentality.The girls at this high school have a hi...

“Once people get into relationships, friends and rational thought get tossed aside.”Being an avid reader, there would come a time that all your favorite genres won’t do it for you. At this point, it means you need a break from the norm. I was in a bad case of this when I stumbled upon The Break-Up A...

1.0 Bechdel test failure
Ninety percent of their sentences begin with “My boyfriend.” “My boyfriend has the most adorable golden retriever.” “My boyfriend is taking his driving test next week, and he’s been practicing like a maniac.” The girls humor me with smiles, then continue their deep conversation. It’s a biological...

4.0 ARC Review: The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel
"We all like to think that there's one person out there who will rescue us from the tower, slide the glass slipper onto our foot, brush away our one fallen tear and tell us if there's six more weeks of winter. Or something like that. But that's not how the real world works."As a "singleton" whose fr...
