Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Abby McDonald

                                                             🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:
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 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 could not get into this book. It was fun enough for me to read the whole thing but the main character Sadie is so immature. She is supposed to be seventeen in this but I swear she acts more like a 13 year old. She annoyed me! I liked Josh way more than her and he wasn't even in a large portion of the book. I was hoping thus book would be like The Avery Shaw Experiment with the girl trying to get over her love interest inc a unique way which causes hilarity to ensue. Sadly, this was not the case. I think that if I was in middle school I would have liked it a lot more. It was also pretty predictable so I wasn't surprised by anything that happened in the book.

  1. I think I remember liking this one because of the MCs realization that she didn't even know herself. She only existed as Garret's sidekick. So her self discovery was what made me like the book. She was pretty immature but I have friends in their 30s that act even more immature so I was forgiving. I can't remember if I had a hard time getting into it though. It's been several years. I do love that cover though.
