I literally just closed this book and figured I may as well quickly sum it up before it becomes forgettable to me. Which it most definitely will. Although, if I need to call on something to help me remember, I guess I could think of Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes I(which I highly enjoyed) because this book seemed to borrow heavily on that concept. After walking in on her boyfriend making out with another girl, Jessa finds herself in the uncomfortable position of joining them, along with other classmates, on a trip to Italy. Jessa has decided that she is going to wallow throughout this trip rather than make the most of it. Enter Carissa, writer of Jessa's 20 envelopes containing examples of why Jessa's ex sucks. Each envelope has a reason and instructions for some un-Jessa-like thing for her to do as a follow up. Sound familiar? It certainly did to me! I had several problems with this story (in addition to the obvious similarities of Maureen Johson's novels). I disliked the constant references to Broadway musicals. It seems that Jessa (yes, a theater kid) defines and sets her moods to different Broadway musicals. While I do know many of the ones that were referenced throughout the book, I feel that constantly referring to certain shows, characters or songs might be a bit out of touch for many teens. Especially those who don't have an interest in that type of music. Also - and may I enter now that this will contain a brief and pretty insignificant SPOILER - the whole brief kiss with the hot/young/clearly-has-boundary-issues teacher just felt very cliche. I knew it was going to inevitably happen and yet that didn't stop the very dramatic eye-roll that it produced. Lastly, Jessa's character just wasn't that enjoyable to me. While Culbertson clearly had a character who was going through something that everyone experiences, she still wasn't relatable and I didn't sympathize too much with her. I kind of wanted to tell Jessa enough already - get over it. Her character was constantly attention-grabbing and pretty much cast a pal over the trip to Italy. Boring. It took every ounce of energy just to will myself into finishing it. Which I did quickly because I really didn't want to have to talk myself into opening it partway through to finish it.
