Re: Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

I couldn't do it.

Got about 100 pages in, but NOTHING was happening. Oh, the MC was making lists, but... It felt like she jumped at a chance to dump her boyfriend, then never gave him a chance to talk to her about it. Not gonna lie, it sounds like he was a cheating jerk.

But that doesn't mean he was. And her actions are suspect on how she found out about it. I mean, so you see something online. Jumping to conclusions isn't the way to go.

And following that up with 'I'm dropping the modern world' seems like a bad idea.  Worse, she forces someone else to do it too.

So, I've returned the book and am moving on to the next. Let ya know how that goes.

Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

Found this at the library, as I was about to head out. Sounds like a cute story. Once I finish Wicked Appitite by Janet Evonovich, I'll start on it. 

Description:

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.
