Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Anticipated Arrival Date: March 26, 2013
When Mallory’s boyfriend, Jeremy, cheats on her with an online girlfriend, Mallory decides the best way to de-Jeremy her life is to de-modernize things too. Inspired by a list of goals her grandmother made in 1962, Mallory swears off technology and returns to a simpler time (when boyfriends couldn’t cheat with computer avatars). The List:
- Run for pep club secretary
- Host a fancy dinner party/soiree
- Sew a dress for Homecoming
- Find a steady
- Do something dangerous
But simple proves to be crazy-complicated, and the details of the past begin to change Mallory’s present. Add in a too-busy grandmother, a sassy sister, and the cute pep-club president–who just happens to be her ex’s cousin–and soon Mallory begins to wonder if going vintage is going too far.
What doesn’t sound great about that? We can’t wait to read this adorable contemporary! Have you read it yet? Lettuce know what you think.
Looks good 🙂
