Guyaholic by Carolyn Mackler
V (short for Vivienne) lives in the cozy town of Brockport with her grandparents.
The thing is, she HATES it! Living with her mother was much more exciting, even
though it meant moving at least six times in as many years and having to put up
with the different guys her mom hooked up with as well. V has a philosophy in
life- live for the moment, don’t make commitments, do your own thing. Trouble is,
she does NOT want to be like Mom.
Then the fateful day a cannonball hockey puck lands her bleeding head into the lap
of Sam. He’s not like the other guys she’s been with in the past. He enjoys her
for who she is, flaws and all; he wants to hold hands in public; he tells her he
loves her.
It goes against everything V wants in life, so what does she do? Ruins it all one
night at a graduation party. And after Sam leaves, V is miserable.
A cross-country roadtrip to meet her mother (who never lives up to her words) is
what V thinks will solve everything and make her forget Sam. But will it?
Need a book about relationships? This is a must read for girls who love to read
about them. You’ll hate V, love her and hope that it’s not too late for her to
realize what she’s thrown away isn’t garbage, but what every girl wants* Although
this is a sequel to Vegan Virgin Valentine, it can certainly stand on its own. c.
