It wasn’t bad, and admittedly had quite a lot of charm, but I wasn’t invested and often felt like rolling my eyes at Mary. I kind of feel like I must have missed something, or I guess I’m just not in the mood for a cute, young, contemporary YA because I did not enjoy reading this book. If she wants a happy ending IRL, she’ll have to write it herself. As her best intentions go up in flames, Mary discovers life doesn’t follow the same rules as fiction. Unfortunately, Mary is better at dishing out advice than taking it-and the number one bad boy on her list is terribly debonair. So when a girl at her new high school nearly succumbs to the wiles of a notorious cad, Mary starts compiling the Scoundrel Survival Guide, a rundown of literary types to be avoided at all costs. I just was not in the head space for this.Īs a devotee of classic novels, Mary Porter-Malcolm knows all about Mistakes That Have Been Made, especially by impressionable young women. Honestly, though, it wasn’t you, Book, it was me.
