Book Overview

A teen deep-dives into her dating history to uncover her mistakes, become the perfect girlfriend, and get revenge on the wrong guy so she can ride into the sunset with the right one in this debut rom-com "brimming with heart and comedy" (School Library Journal).

To the surprise of no one, Amelia Hernandez is once again single. It's her family curse at work; whether it's by heartbreak, scandal, or even accidental death, every romantic relationship that a Hernandez woman has will meet its demise eventually. And that may be fine with Amelia's sisters, mom, and aunts, but definitely not with Amelia.

In an effort to cheer her up, Amelia's aunts and sisters develop the Hernandez Romance Boot Camp. Amelia will embark on an Ex Retrospective: tracking down her exes, finding out where she went wrong, and using that information to finally become un-break-up-able for whenever her next relationship comes along. By the end, Amelia should be free of the curse. Secretly, she also hopes her quest for self-improvement will give her the confidence to tell her loved ones she wants to take a gap year instead of working in the family café.

However, when Amelia is unwillingly reunited with Leon, the ex to end all exes, she can't resist having a little revenge on the side, too. After all, what better way to test out her new persona of perfect girlfriend traits than on the boy who broke her heart?

But old loves die hard, and as Amelia's feelings grow more complicated, she suspects that she may be in for more than she bargained for.

About Elba Luz
