review 1: I liked it. It was a cute, fun and light read, but I had some issues with it. First, the things I liked about it. Amelia is confident and hard-working. She knows what she wants to be when she "grows up." She knows how much work is involved and is willing to sacrifice to achieve that goal. She has not had an easy life and does not have a relationship with her mother, but she is not giving up. She grows during the course of the book and is willing to change because she can see how her "job" is not doing anyone any favors. She's not helping as much as she thought she was. I liked David. She realizes that she has been hiding from life and doesn't want to hide anymore. Sshe wants to experience high school, not watch it go by. Now, the things I didn't like or bothered me about t... morehe book. Amelia is 16, but no 16-year-old that I know of knows as much as Amelia does about human behavior, which is why she is so good at her job. She's been at this job for "years," at 16 - really? She seems sooo much older. It bothered me that the author would be okay putting that it's okay for a guy to spend the night in a girl's home, especially since no adult was present. Yes, Amelia had a shock and she was upset, but I don't think having David sleep at Amelia's house was the appropriate answer. The last thing that bothered me was David was so against what Amelia did for a job he had her convinced to quit, but by the end of the book Amelia had him convinced it was okay for certain people; people who didn't care about anyone and were willing pay big money to get their way. Why does this make it okay? Overall, I liked the book. It was well written and a quick read.
review 2: The Breakup Artist by Shannen C. Camp is just the sort of book that will leave you laughing until the very end. The plot is a fun, witty, and it's just the sort of book I love to read. Amelia, a high school teen, has created a very profitable business as a "breakup artist". You can pay her fifty bucks, and she'll dump your current boyfriend, leaving you free of guilt and free to pursue another crush. Amelia runs a professional business, and her busy schedule leaves her no time for relationships of her own, but she'd like to keep it that way. However, when she meets David, a boy she's been hired to dump, her carefully organized world begins to fall apart. Amelia is definitely a character to love. I loved her "professional" manner and her quirky personality. As the story progresses, you begin to realize the "whys" behind Amelia's choice of "profession", and you watch her grow and change until the very end. Author Shannen C. Camp does a wonderful job of building characters and plot. I highly recommend The Breakup Artist and congratulate the author on a job well done! less
