Haven’t been reading very much lately. Have been much too busy with schoolwork, but it looks like I’m managing my time a little better and should have more time to read. My schedule is getting busier, but still… I’m hopeful.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Love is all you need... or is it? Penny's about to find out in this wonderful debut.

Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating. So she vows: no more. It's a personal choice. . .and, of course, soon everyone wants to know about it. And a few other girls are inspired. A movement is born: The Lonely Hearts Club (named after the band from Sgt. Pepper). Penny is suddenly known for her nondating ways . . . which is too bad, because there's this certain boy she can't help but like. . . .

Excerpts:

“She was one of my few friends who understood the cultural importance of the Beatles.” (Hardback, pg. 88)

“‘So, are we going to have rules for the anti-guy Club?’ Tracy asked at lunch.

‘It’s called The Lonely Hearts Club,’ I reminded her.

‘Uh-huh. And are we going to have to wear matching T-shirts or chastity belts or something?’” (Hardback, pg. 88)
