Goodreads Summary

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.


My review

Oh my goodness, this was such a fun book. I loved it! Andie is wonderful, she is so much fun. She is all teenager at times. I enjoyed her many moods and her adventures through her repeating day. The lines in the book are clever and well timed. The things that run through Andie's head at times had me laughing out loud. Mom and Dad are sweet, attentive parents, and both are very funny at times. Andie's journey through time was quite the learning experience for her. As a child of the 80s, I loved all of the awesome movies that were mentioned and referenced. I appreciated Andie's growth and how she genuinely tried to help others. Yes, she was trying to figure out how to end her looped day, but she learned so much about others and herself. The last few chapters were especially wonderful. Without revealing anything, one character's struggle was very touching, and how Andie helped her was awesome. I love a good, clean book I can pass to my daughters, and this is one of them.

5 out of 5 stars. There is some teenage drinking at a party, but the main character does not participate in it.
