Ex-Boyfriend

Rate this book
He cares about you deeply … but now he cares about her too.

Mandy is heartbroken when she and her long-time boyfriend break up. Because he was a really good guy… and it hurts when a really good guy starts liking another girl … as much as you. It’s hard to hate him when all you want to do is touch him. Hard to move on when you see him every day, and he still smiles (stares?) at you. But yeah, now he’s with another girl. But what if another boy comes along? You’re not ready for it … but hmmm. Butterflies. Fluttering. In your broken heart.

SUMMARY:

Mandy suffers a lot of heartache and embarrassing moments as she is caught time and again stalking her ex-boyfriend—though she’s trying to let go. Really! However, there is a smokin’ hot guy just waiting for her to let go, and he’s more than willing to help yank the cord to get things moving along. But is Mandy ready to let go … and is her ex REALLY ready for her to do it?

Forget Grady I want Smith Cross!!
He's amazing, and he's my new book boyfriend.....Mmmm, I can dream can't I?

Mandy would be my best friend if she was real, I love her to bits. I connected with her character. She was written amazingly. I think Melanie Marks maybe my new favourite author sorry Meg Cabot. :s

In this book I constantly found myself wanting to hit Grady, come on Becca is a huge B*#$h she's a conniving witch (Mandy loves calling her a witch and I completely agree).

Since Becca came to the school, she wriggled her way into Grady's naive little heart. Poor Mandy had to watch the love of her life?? fall for another girl. Good thing that her old friend Smith was there to catch her as she fell..... literally.

Smith tried keeping his distance, but obviously he couldn't for reason he reveals later in the book. God he is truly amazing, he reminds me of my fiance. I guess that's why I loved this book so much!

Loved it

I've just discovered Melanie Marks and all her wonderful books and I'm hooked. I can't read each one fast enough. "Ex-Boyfriend" is my favorite so far. I love this story about Mandy and Brady's breakup. I love how Smith is always coming to Mandy's rescue in all her embarrassing situations. I highly recommend this author and all her books!

Other than my longing for Mandy to let go of Grady sooner, I enjoyed this story. Smith's POVs were wonderful!!!!
