Past Perfect
A sweet and clever novel about the woes of (boy) history repeating itself, from the author of Mostly Good Girls.
All Chelsea wants to do this summer is hang out with her best friend, hone her talents as an ice cream connoisseur, and finally get over Ezra, the boy who broke her heart. But when Chelsea shows up for her summer job at Essex Historical Colonial Village (yes, really), it turns out Ezra’s working there too. Which makes moving on and forgetting Ezra a lot more complicated…even when Chelsea starts falling for someone new.
Maybe Chelsea should have known better than to think that a historical reenactment village could help her escape her past. But with Ezra all too present, and her new crush seeming all too off-limits, all Chelsea knows is that she’s got a lot to figure out about love. Because those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it….

I sought out this book because I went to college in colonial Williamsburg and was curious about how a living history museum would factor into this book. I truly canât emphasize enough how much this book needs a different cover; I donât know why they chose this cover and the tagline they did because neither are even remotely representative of the content of the book. I genuinely kept checking the dust jacket to be like is this a misprint? Regardless, a cute and quick read with a fun setting, and all the overwrought complications of any youth fiction novel. Truly canât get past how mismatched the cover, tagline, and even to some extent the title are not reflective of the book.
