Thoughts
This book sounds like such a fun read! I have always loved revenge books, and the main character getting back at her ex is sure to be entertaining. I also love the idea of the characters working in a snow cone truck. I have never seen this before in a book, and I am excited to see how it will play out. Kale, My Ex, and Other Things to Toss in a Blender looks like such a perfect book for the summer, and I can’t wait to pick it up!
