________________________________________________________________________________
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.

Why I need this book now:
First of all, ever since I read
Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill last year, I "re-fell" in love with YA contemporary again. So, when I saw this one on Goodreads, it definitely caught me eye. The premise sound completely a d o r a b l e, and I'm obsessed with earlier time periods, so Mallory "going vintage" sounds like it's going to be a blast. Ah, I can't wait!
