Getting Over Garrett Delaney
by Abby McDonald
336 pages
24 January 2012

From GoodReads:
Seventeen-year-old Sadie is in love: epic, heartfelt, and utterly one-sided. The object of her obsession — ahem, affection — is her best friend,Garrett Delaney, who has been oblivious to Sadie’s feelings ever since he sauntered into her life and wowed her with his passion for Proust (not to mention his deep blue eyes).

For two long, painful years, Sadie has been Garrett’s constant companion, sharing his taste in everything from tragic Russian literature to art films to ’80s indie rock — all to no avail. But when Garrett leaves for a summer literary retreat, Sadie is sure that the absence will make his heart grow fonder — until he calls to say he’s fallen in love. With some other girl! A heartbroken Sadie realizes that she’s finally had enough. It’s time for a total Garrett detox!

Aided by a barista job, an eclectic crew of new friends (including the hunky chef, Josh), and a customized self-help guide, Sadie embarks on a summer of personal reinvention full of laughter, mortifying meltdowns, and a double shot of love.


I really, really want to read this book! I love that the girl on the cover has a book over her face, and I totally read in that same position sometimes. Plus the summary sounds fantastic--sign me up for any book with a "hunky chef" and "mortifying meltdowns."

  6. I'm really enjoying contemporary YA at the moment. You just always get the feeling that the book could happen in real life. This one sounds like the perfect summer read for me.
