By Linsey Leavitt
Bloomsbury
Expected Publication: 2013
The story of a girl figuring out the truths and illusions of life and love, both in the nostalgic past and in the very real now. Laugh-out-loud humor combines with a hint of romance in this delightful contemporary novel.
The cure for a broken heart? Go vintage and live like it’s 1962!
Mallory’s boyfriend, Jeremy, isn’t just cheating on her. He’s cheating with an online girlfriend. So Mallory decides to swear off boys and modern technology. Inspired by a list of goals her grandmother made in 1962, Mallory decides to “go vintage” and return to a simpler time. She sets out to complete grandma’s list: run for pep club secretary, host a dinner party, sew a homecoming dress, find a steady, do something dangerous.
The list proves to be trickier than it looks. Obviously finding a steady is out . . . no matter how intriguing she finds Oliver (er, Jeremy's cousin). But with the help of her sister, Mallory will finish the list and find peace.
Somehow.

Jessirae @ Words, Pages, and Books
Can't wait to read this! Picked this one too for my WoW. I just love the cover and the synopsis! Can going vintage really cure your heart? Following a list made by your grandmother is just weird but looks fun. Finally, i can't wait to see if Oliver is that good and of course, beat Jeremy like there's no tomorrow! Who would cheat over their girlfriend for an ONLINE girlfriend! Meh! That's the worst.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! :)
Haven't heard of this before but it sounds like a fun read! Once I see more reviews for it I might pick it up sometime once it's out. Nice pick! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

This sounds like a really fun story and I can justify adding this book to my TBR list as it isn't coming out for a long time.... unfortunately. Thanks for stopping by my WoW!
