Ah. The summer. Beaches. Barbecues. Break ups. While some lucky teens find love in the sandy dunes, others spend the summer months pining for the one who got away. BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO is a book for those people. Toby is afraid of sex and loses his girl because of it; Dee finds she has ESP after a head injury and learns some ugly truths about her “boyfriend”; Lisa gets dumped because she’s not pretty enough; and Mia becomes an unwilling poster child for diversity when she falls for a straight girl. Between the humor and the pain, readers will discover a lot of truth about the flip side of first love, and the resilience of the human heart. So grab a Kleenex and hunker down. This book is a perfect fit in the beach bag.
