Waiting on Wednesday: Going Vintage

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine.  "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Pub. Date: March 26, 2013


Goodreads says, "When Mallory discovers that her boyfriend, Jeremy, is cheating on her with an online girlfriend, she swears off boys. She also swears off modern technology. Inspired by a list of goals her grandmother made in 1962, Mallory decides to "go vintage" and return to a simpler time (when boyfriends couldn't cheat on you online). 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. But the list is trickier than it looks. And obviously finding a steady is out . . . no matter how good Oliver (Jeremy's cousin) smells. But with the help of her sister, she'll get it done. Somehow. Lindsey Leavitt perfectly pairs heartfelt family moments, laugh-out-loud humor, and a little bit of romance in this delightful contemporary novel."

*I love the sound of this one! It's definitely a cool premise and it reminds me of Back to the Future (one of my favorite movies!)  I can't believe we have to wait till March though.  What do you guys think?

  1. I think this sounds like fun and I have it on my TBR list too. While I think it is extreme for her to swear off modern technology it should make for an entertaining book.
