Teen Pick of the Week: Going Vintage


[Cover]             
Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

     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 didn't cheat with computer avatars).
The list:

  • Run for pep-squad secretary
  • Host a fancy dinner party/soiree
  • Sew a dress for homecoming
  • Find a steady
  • Do something dangerous
     But simple proves to he crazy complicated, and the details of the past begin to change Mallor's present.  Add in a too-busy grandmother, a sassy sister, and the cute pep-squad president--who just happens to be her ex's cousin--and soon Mallory begins to wonder if going vintage is going to far.
