The Art of Lainey (Art of Lainey)

by Paula Stokes

"When Lainey gets dumped, she employs an ancient Chinese warlord's tactics to get her ex-boyfriend back"--

Soccer star Lainey Mitchell is gearing up to spend an epic summer with her amazing boyfriend, Jason, when he suddenly breaks up with her-- no reasons, no warnings, and in public no less! With help from her friend Bianca-- and a copy of The Art of War-- she resolves to do whatever it takes to get Jason back. Lainey channels her inner warlord, recruiting spies to gather intel and persuading her coworker Micah to pose as her new boyfriend to make Jason jealous. Can fighting for what she wants help Lainey figure out what she really needs?

I liked this one. A cute contemporary read about a heartbroken girl who tries to win her ex back and then realizes some new truths about herself. I liked seeing Lainey grow into the person she was at the end of the book. I also really liked Micah and the relationship that blossoms between the two of them. The teasing nature of their relationship, the way that he was brutally honest and yet extremely kind...loved him.

I'm glad that I read this book.
