YA
Jane swears off boys after seeing her boyfriend kiss another girl. She feels worthless and rejected, though it's clear her ex is a creep. Jane's divorced mother, never-married grandmother, and caring friends (all underutilized characters) help her get over it. The whole thing--from why the relationship ended to how Jane moves on--has been done before, but many readers will relate to Jane.
