GUEST POST:
by Author Jenny Peterson
Dumped
My
boyfriend dumped me right before senior prom. I tried to tell people it
was totally mutual, but only one of us was sobbing in the bathroom
between classes, so...
My friends swooped
in--as awesome, swoopy
friends do--and set me up with a "date." I tried to be excited, but
there was all that aforementioned sobbing to get back to. Being dumped
by your First Major High School Boyfriend sucks. My friends, however,
were up to more than simply cornering a foreign-exchange student and
somehow conning him into taking me to prom. My vision for a Capital R
Romantic prom, full of intimate dinners and probably a lot of goopy
soul-gazing, etc, was replaced with fun. Capital F Fun. And mini-vans.
Because nothing says prom like a white Ford Aerostar.
Dinner
for two turned into a group event. Dessert was a drive-thru trip for
McFlurries. And slow-dancing--which I'm pretty sure is scientifically
proven to be the least fun type of dancing--became bouncy and late-90s
and full of the shrieking laughter perfected by teen girls everywhere.
(And let me go ahead and apologize to parents and teachers for that
because, seriously, we were
shrill.)
But more than that, a boyfriend-less
senior prom turned into the type of memorable summer that will always
make me smile. Bonfires. Sleep-overs. Sucking down Mike's Hard Lemonade
and pretending it's tasty. It was that last bit of teenage life before
we all scattered. To different colleges and different corners of the
country (or world) and different lives. Sometimes, being dumped is
exactly what's needed to make the dance worthwhile.

Received this short anthology in the mail yesterday and I'm SO so excited to start reading! Unfortunately, it would have to wait a bit and because of my exams starting soon, and the fact that I need to finish CoLS! But look out for my review next month! :)
Great review :)
