Amy Shepherd greets the one-year anniversary of her divorce by throwing herself a celebratory dinner of once-forbidden foods (frozen dinner from Trader Joe’s, no salad at all, and lots of dessert) and giving away all of her married-life possessions. The art director of Kids Press, Amy has been assigned to revise the story of Goldilocks, and she finds her own life reflecting a similar tale. Will she fall for a man who’s a little too old (but exciting), a man who’s a little too young (but awfully exciting looking), or a man who’s just right, at least as far as her friends are concerned? Or will she bring Goldilocks’ story—and her own—up to date with a little help from high-technology and the Goldilocks Planet theory? Can Amy resolve issues with her ex, her failing publishing company, plus her best friend’s quandary about working in a museum that’s been universally panned? Amy will have to decide how her own tale will end, all the while driving her beloved powder blue convertible through the streets of Santa Monica, where she has become known as the Girl in the ’67 Beetle, the only thing in her life that, so far at least, feels just right.

Linda Lenhoff is the author of Life a la Mode and Latte Lessons.

Praise for The Girl in the ’67 Beetle
“I am so happy to keep company with smart, witty, and lovable characters. I rooted for all involved and applauded every romantic and professional payoff that The Girl in the ’67 Beetle delivered.
—Elinor Lipman, author of Good Riddance, On Turpentine Lane, and The Family Man

I enjoyed this book so much I realized I wanted to start dating again and joined an online dating site! The Girl in the ’67 Beetle is an utterly charming novel that zips along at a fun, brisk pace. You’ll love the wide range of funny, quirky characters and the witty dialogue throughout will make you laugh out loud time and again. What a delight!
—Renee Swindle, author of Shake Down the Stars, A Pinch of Ooh La La, and Please Please Please

 

REVIEW 

This is a super cute read about a children’s book writer and illustrator reworking the classic fairy tale, Goldilocks when she realizes that her life is more or less the story.  Amy has been divorced a year now and is “trying on” different types of men as she drives around n her gifted “67 blue Beetle.  As Amy dates her way around different men that range younger than her, her age, and older than her, she tries to figure out which one is just right.  This reminded me a bit of Bridget Jones’ Diary in format and humor.  It was fun to see how the real fairy tale was reflected in her story.

    Delightful, captivating and wonderful. My boyfriend/husband drove a 67 Beetle which was his first car. Dark blue and a beaut.

    I would so enjoy reading this book and I like the cover too.

    Because her life reflects the Goldilocks story, I can definitely conclude that there are a new array of situations and choices in her life. The fact that her car is the only familiarity in her life, shows that she is definitely unsure about her life after divorce.
