Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt


This was a cute book with a great premise and it made me want to dump Facebook, cell phones, and all technology.  My only drawback was the main character – Mallory – I found her whiny and annoying at times (but I loved, loved, loved her sister.)  This is a good book if you’re looking for something quick and easy.

Book Description via Amazon

Release date: March 26, 2013

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.
