Review: Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Abby McDonald

 
Getting Over Garrett Delaney is a book by Abby McDonald, first published in 2013 by Walker Books Ltd. 

Yes, I'm back. I've already read another book :P

Sadie has been in love with her best friend for 2 years now. But Garrett is - or seems -  oblivious! Whenever Garrett is away from her, Sadie cannot do anything but mope and wait for him to get in touch. 

But this time, no moping is allowed, and when Garrett finally calls to tell Sadie he's fallen in love with someone else, it's time for Sadie to get over him for good!

"You know..." I wonder guiltily if pretending to be a nature girl is the same as pretending to love Dostoyevsky novels and morose British music. Probably. But then my gaze falls to the ground and the point becomes moot, because he's wearing sandals - those leather thong kind that German tourists wear, usually over socks. But Oliver isn't wearing socks, and I can see his bare feet even in the dim light: they're covered in dirt, as if he's been hiking through the forest all day.

I swear I see something...wriggle between his toes.

"Sadie?"

I loved this book!! I thought from the cover that I would enjoy it, but not quite as much as I actually did. It was, no doubt, the perfect choice to read after Looking For Alaska and First Love (Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with those amazing books!!). It is full of strength, discovery and girl power. 

To help Sadie get over Garrett, read Getting Over Garrett Delaney!

Happy Reading!
