A Groundhog Day meets Pretty in Pink mashup from author Laurie Boyle Crompton, Pretty in Punxsutawney tells the tale of a girl willing to look beneath the surface to see people for who they really are.
Andie is the type of girl who always comes up with the perfect thing to say…after it’s too late to say it. She’s addicted to romance movies—okay, all movies—but has yet to experience her first kiss. After a move to Punxsutawney, PA, for her senior year, she gets caught in an endless loop of her first day at her new school, reliving those 24 hours again and again.
Convinced the curse will be broken when she meets her true love, Andie embarks on a mission: infiltrating the various cliques to find the one boy who can break the spell. What she discovers along the way is that people who seem completely different can often share the very same hopes, dreams, and hang-ups. And that even a day that has been lived over and over can be filled with unexpected connections and plenty of happy endings.
Andie is a funny but pure-hearted, bit sassy character. My favorite part of this book was seeing how different things would play out. As a reader of many books I'm always thinking well if this went different, then how would that of chanced and this book showed me how many of those outcomes would affect the story.
Andie and her mother are movie lovers, and I enjoyed how they played a part and influenced it. Andie is a strong headed, but she grew throughout the story. Labels play a huge part of this book, along with how people see us, versus how we really are. Seeing how these labels are pushed into this book was interesting, even with this book having the typical jocks, goths, geeks, and so on, Andie goes and leaners that each people are more than the label the fellow classmates gives them.
Tom was my favorite character, and for me made this book!
It's classic teen rom-coms is your jam then you'll want to give this book a read!
