I got this book ree on my Kindle on Amazon so I thought I would give it a try. I now know why it’s free…because it’s not so good.
The book is about a guy named Edward who is left by his girl-friend of 10 years because he has let himself go. His ex-girlfriend packs up her stuff from their apartment and goes on vacation for a couple months. Edward decides to essentially give himself a make over by losing weight, quit smoking, by a new car, get a new wardrobe, get contacts, whitten his teeth, etc. At the end he decides to suprise her at the airport and make up with her. Well, just like the clique story goes when a person gives himself a makeover to win back their lover, Edward decides that he’s a new person now and his ex-girlfriend doesn’t deserve him, then he goes and kisses his trainer.
Honestly it was a major disappointment. Edward is an annoying character because he is so lazy and his best friend forces him to make all these changes. He whines and is a little bit too obsessive with his ex-girlfriend.
Basically I’m just telling you not to read this book. I like my books to teach me something or make me feel something and the Ex-Boyfriend’s Handbook didn’t do any of this for me.
