Ex-mas

Amazing book.

I thouhgt this book would be boring. But I was comepletely WRONG! This book really is one of the most amazing books I have ever read and trust me-- I have read a lot. The story flows so smoothly and even though it's a good book, it has-- maybe one or two bumps along the way, but I didn't care, because I absolutely loved the book. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes romantic- comedies.

Holiday Romance

Three years ago, Lila made a decision that changed her life. She dumped her boyfriend, fixed her hair, and become BFFs with the most popular girl at school. Now, she's in a position that might jeopardize everything she's worked so hard to achieve over the years. Her parents are finally going out of town and she's throwing the biggest bash of the year. But everything goes wrong. First of all, her college boyfriend has a final he needs to take and can't come home for the party. Next her brother squeals to her parents. When she calls off the party, her friends asks if she wouldn't mind if the party still happened at her house. To retaliate against her third grader brother, she leaves out homework for science in plain sight that screams global warming might kill the North Pole. She never imagines that her brother and his friend would travel to the North Pole to save Santa. Now she's stuck on the road with her ex boyfriend as they try to track down their two brothers before their parents discover the truth. Will they find the boys before they kill each other?

A cute holiday romance filled with finding your true self and your real friends. I ADORE this cover plus the title's cute too.

Lila Beckwith has come a long way in the last three years. Ever since she ditched Beau, learned to tame her wild locks, befriended Carly Hollander, and landed Carly's older brother, Erik, as a boyfriend, she's been at the top of the North Valley High School social scene. And tonight she's going to secure that position.

Her parents are FINALLY, for the first time Lila can remember, going away for a few days. They are leaving Lila and her 8-year-old brother, Cooper, home alone. And Lila is throwing THE party of the year. It's the start of Christmas break and she's had everything planned to perfection for ages.

The only glitch in the problem is that before her parents leave, Lila gives Cooper such a hard time that he snoops on her computer and discovers her party plans. He tattles on her before they can leave, and Lila is totally grounded. Her parents are going to call and check in on her throughout the night, and she better answer the phone. If Lila has any hopes of getting her dream car for her 18th birthday in January, she can do nothing but agree. So the party is history, and one of her other friends jumps in and offers to have it instead.

In her misery, Lila goes and retrieves Cooper from his best friend, Tyler's, house. But when she gets there, she has to deal with her old boyfriend, Beau, Tyler's older brother. To make matters worse, Cooper and Tyler can't be found. In their house search, Lila and Beau discover an Amtrak map on the computer with a destination further north. Cooper saw an article on Santa and global warming that Lila had to study over the break, and now the two boys have taken it upon themselves to save Santa from disaster.

What ensues is a mad dash by Lila and Beau to intercept the boys on their train trip north. They only have two days to get the boys and safely return home before Lila's parents and Beau's mom discover them missing.

Reminiscent of such movies as "The Sure Thing" and even "Road Trip," the reader knows that there will be crazy adventures along the way. At the beginning, Lila can't imagine anything worse than being stuck in a car with Beau for such a long trip. But throughout the journey, Lila comes to know Beau and even herself far better than she ever expected.

As with all of Ms. Brian's works, EX-MAS will be gobbled up by teenage girls. The story is fast-paced and sweet, and just in time for this holiday season.
