Romance. Humor (Fiction.) Young Adult Fiction. HTML:

In this clever YA rom-com debut perfect for fans of Kasie West and Ashley Poston, a teen obsessed with nineteenth-century literature tries to cull advice on life and love from her favorite classic heroines to disastrous resultsâ??especially when she falls for the school's resident Lothario.

Mary Porter-Malcolm has prepared for high school in the one way she knows how: an extensive review of classic literature to help navigate the friendships, romantic liaisons, and overall drama she has come to expect from such an "esteemed" institution.

When some new friends seem in danger of falling for the same tricks employed since the days of Austen and Tolstoy, Mary swoops in to create the Scoundrel Survival Guide, using archetypes of literature's debonair bad boys to signal red flags. But despite her best efforts, she soon finds herself unable to listen to her own good advice and falling for a supposed cadâ??the same one she warned her friends away from.

Without a convenient rain-swept moor to flee to, Mary is forced to admit that real life doesn't follow the same rules as fiction and that if she wants a happy ending, she's going to have to write it herself… (plus d'informations)

I adore this book. The cover is a little misleading because at it's core, it's really more about friendships than the romance. Love all the literary references and opinions, and the cast of characters is so much fun. Bo and Jasper (those scapegraces) were favs, and the Scoundrel club pleasantly surprised me.
A very fun read ( )

Did not grab my attention, I DNFed at 50% and couldn’t really tell ya about the book. It was just boring to me. ( )

A fun book with intelligent humour and wonderful literary references. Readers will either find Mary Porter-Malcom insufferable or they will find her quirky and charming. I fall into the latter group of Readers. I loved the witty banter between many of the different characters. It reminded me a little bit of the Gilmour Girls in that respect. It's predictable and fluffy and safe. It has made me want to reread some of my favourite classics. An enjoyable read. ( )

Not my favorite, as the main character was kind of a book snob, but if I was 15 and read this, I think it would've been a five start for sure ( )
