The Lonely Hearts Club

This book starts off with a BANG! This may have been Elizabeth's Eulberg's debut novel but it was still excellent and, since I am a hardcore Beatles fan, just like Miss Penny Lane is in the book, got a kick out of all the wonderful Beatles references that kept popping up throughout the book. Penny becomes sick and tired of boys and dating after her lifetime friend Nate betrays her and breaks her heart. She forms a club, The Lonely Hearts Club, named after Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band, and soon enough her club of one turns into two, three, and then soon enough so many girls in her school that the boys get jealous!! One in particular, who was scorned badly after Penny started her club, Todd, starts spreading nasty rumors and comments. So do a few other people as well, even club members!! What's even worse for Penny is that she's falling for Ryan, a boy at her school who had broken up with one of her fellow club members. What is Penny to do?? She formed the club, so how can she go back on her word not to date any one?? Even someone as wonderful and as sweet and Ryan?? This story was cute and sweet (just like Ryan) and would warm anyones heart!! Overall grade...A of course!!
