Author: Lindsey Leavitt
Release Date: March 26th, 2013
Publisher: Bloomsbury
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:
1. Run for pep club secretary
2. Host a fancy dinner party/soiree
3. Sew a dress for Homecoming
4. Find a steady
5. 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 presient – who just happens to be her ex’s cousin – and soon Mallory begins to wonder if going vintage is going too far.
[Summary Source: Goodreads]
I've always wondered what it would be like to ditch all of the STUFF and just BE, like my grandma. I want to write ACTUAL letters and have whole conversations without anyone looking at their phones and just be free of all of the things that rule our lives today. And I know, I know, there are a lot of things I'd miss (you guys, in particular!) but I think it'd be a novel idea, don't you?
Not to mention, everyone's been talking about this and the summary (as well as the cover) is just SO CUTE.
