Do you like books that switch perspectives? If so this is the one for you! What if your best friends boyfriend breaks up with her at a pool party and cheats on her? You make a fake account on Facebook and get back at him! In the book Kale, my ex, and Other Things to Toss in the Blender by Lisa Greenwald, Mia and her boyfriend did everything together and then at the pool party he broke up with her. Mia was very heartbroken and couldn’t stop talking to Seth which just made things worse for her but Justine had a plan to fix everything. Justine and Mia made a fake Facebook and started to talk to Seth through messaging. To get things off Mia’s mind about Seth they started working at Justine’s uncle’s snow cone shop. But instead of selling snow cones they started selling smoothie which brought in a lot of money. But the thing is, Justine’s uncle doesn’t know about it. They find new love and a new life. This book I rate a billion stars because it's a book that you’ll start reading and never want it to end. This book I would say should be 6th graders because of some parts in the book but, I really recommend this book!
