“As a devotee of classic novels, Mary Porter-Malcolm knows all about Mistakes That Have Been Made, especially by impressionable young women. 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.
Unfortunately, Mary is better at dishing out advice than taking it—and the number one bad boy on her list is terribly debonair. As her best intentions go up in flames, Mary discovers life doesn’t follow the same rules as fiction. If she wants a happy ending IRL, she’ll have to write it herself.” - taken from Goodreads.com
This book started off a little slow for me. It took a while for Mary Porter-Malcolm to meet her new friends at her new school. With English professors as parents, it's no wonder that Mary is a fan of classic novels, Jane Austen. Soon she helps her newfound friends navigate the dateable boys of Millville by creating the Scoundrel Survival Guide. When Mary finds herself falling for the number one scoundrel, Alex Ritter, this is where the book really picked up for me. So everyone knows that first impressions/appearances are not always what they seem and this is true for Mary. Another sweet rom-com that involves books.
