Amy Shepherd greets the one-year anniversary of her divorce by throwing herself
a celebratory dinner of once-forbidden foods (frozen dinner from Trader Joe’s,
no salad at all, and lots of dessert) and giving away all of her married-life
possessions. The art director of Kids Press, Amy has been assigned to revise
the story of Goldilocks, and she finds her own life reflecting a similar tale.
Will she fall for a man who’s a little too old (but exciting), a man who’s a
little too young (but awfully exciting looking), or a man who’s just right, at
least as far as her friends are concerned? Or will she bring Goldilocks’
story—and her own—up to date with a little help from high-technology and the
Goldilocks Planet theory? Can Amy resolve issues with her ex, her failing
publishing company, plus her best friend’s quandary about working in a museum
that’s been universally panned? Amy will have to decide how her own tale will
end, all the while driving her beloved powder blue convertible through the
streets of Santa Monica, where she has become known as the Girl in the ’67
Beetle, the only thing in her life that, so far at least, feels just right.
Linda Lenhoff is the author of Life a la Mode and Latte Lessons.
Praise for The Girl in the ’67 Beetle
“I am so happy to keep company with smart, witty, and lovable characters. I
rooted for all involved and applauded every romantic and professional payoff
that The Girl in the ’67 Beetle delivered.
—Elinor Lipman, author of Good Riddance, On Turpentine Lane, and The
Family Man
I enjoyed this book so much I realized I wanted to start dating again and
joined an online dating site! The Girl in the ’67 Beetle is an
utterly charming novel that zips along at a fun, brisk pace. You’ll love the
wide range of funny, quirky characters and the witty dialogue throughout will
make you laugh out loud time and again. What a delight!
—Renee Swindle, author of Shake Down the Stars, A Pinch of Ooh La
La, and Please Please Please
REVIEW: Super cute Valentine’s Day read that will make you want to drive a classic car and take a stroll on the beach. Amy is coming out of a divorce and hasn’t dated in a year, when suddenly she’s met three new men. Chester, a professor, Ben a car mechanic and her aunt’s dentist. Told in a quirky way we meet each of the suitors as Amy attempts to choose who is “just right” for her. I loved Amy’s aunt who rescues her in every way after a disastrous match of a husband. The ex is a jerk, totally slimy. I also appreciated that Amy is willing to expand her horizons and think outside the box. Easy to read with fun dialog. I did find myself skimming a few of the conversations about work in the sub plot, but overall, this is a fun trip through the experiences of dating in a beach town. Highly enjoyable!
