Rosalind’s Pick: Vintage Veronica

Book: Vintage Veronica, by Erica S. Perl

I just finished reading this charming book, and I thought I should share it with all the book-loving fashionistas out there.

Vintage Veronica (Knopf, 2010) is the story of a shy, overweight, teenage loner who loves vintage clothing.  When she finds work at Clothing Bonanza, a local vintage shop, she’s sure she’s found the summer job of her dreams.  But after meeting the mysterious stock boy and befriending two crazy sales girls, her summer takes an unexpected turn.

I’d recommend this novel for any girl who’s ever felt out of place because of her quirky interests, anyone who’s ever felt the need to hide from the world, and, of course, for any vintage fashion lovers.  It is a flawless and fun summer read.

Here’s the book’s trailer:
