It's more 3,5 stars rather than 4, but Goodreads doesn't allow half stars and I liked how Math was included in the book.

What I liked most where all the Math messages. At the end of each chapter, you can find a message written in Math. Some have the answer right there, with a comment by one of the characters. Others (just a few) don't have the answer, but you can solve them.

The one thing that I didn't like is that the difference between best friend and love interest wasn't really there. There wasn't anything in the book that showed that Ashley loved Brendan or that Brendan loved her. It wasn't instant sudden love, which was great, but I felt that there was something missing after I finished the book.

The plot was rather predictable, but I haven't read a high school romance where it wasn't, so I guess that this isn't that negative or even negative. Still, it was a light and entertaining book, perfect for those days when you want to read something that doesn't require a lot of thinking.… (més)

Solving for Ex is a fun novel that will have your inner math geek out. Well, unless you’re like me and do not like anything Calculus related.

I think Ashley represents the typical teenage girl, and I love that she is so easy to relate to. I mean how many of us, at one time, didn’t have those confusing feelings when you like some one but they are completely oblivious. Brendan is definitely not seeing how much Ash likes him, even though pretty much everyone else gets it. I didn’t care for Sofia at all. She’s a serious pain in the butt, and doesn’t seem to get the hint. Vincent is tolerable. I never feel like I would be completely at ease with him.

The course of the book is over a period of a few months, but it doesn’t seem like it at all. You’re caught up in the whirlwind that is high school politics, and trying to figure out what you want. Also, some things are worth standing up for, you just have to know when it’s appropriate. I did absolutely love when Brendan and Ashely would get all crazy excited about solving math problems. It had me giggling.

If you’re wanting something that isn’t too heavy, but it funny, and sweet, you should definitely give Solving for Ex a try.… (més)

If you are looking for a thoroughly entertaining New Adult Romance to read this summer, than The Broken Hearts Society of Suite 17C is the book for you!

Author LeighAnn Kopans weaves a sassy tale that follows three college freshman girls: Rion, Amy, and Arielle, who become roommates, and while they come from very different backgrounds, and have very different personalities, they share one thing in come: they all enter college after experiencing a broken heart!

Written in the alternating perspectives of Rion, Amy, and Arielle, the reader is easily drawn into the girls' newly formed Broken Hearts Society of Suite 17C, where they follow the suitemates' freshman year in college as their bond of friendship blossoms amidst the drama, romance, humorous antics, and growing pains that comes with entering college.

I really enjoyed reading the alternating yet interweaving stories of each of the girls. I found it fascinating that three very different personalities could form a bond of sisterhood and blossoming friendship based on their shared experiences of heartbreak. Rion is the resident street smart girl who cusses like a sailor, Amy is the small town Christian girl, and Arielle is a beautiful lesbian: each girl has her own story to tell, but the reader is in for a real treat as they follow the girls' journey as they grow and come into their own during the first year of college. I loved the mixture of drama, friendship, and romance that was interwoven throughout the story, as well as the blossoming bond of friendship and witty interactions between the girls.

The Broken Hearts Society of Suite 17C is a lighthearted fun read that will provide a lot of laughs and leave a smile on your face!
