Vegan, Virgin, Valentine by Carolyn Mackler

3.0

mara valentine's life is turned upside down when her niece, who is only a year younger than her, comes to live with her family. vivienne "v" valentine, who straight-a vegan mara considers a chaotic slut, teaches mara a thing or two about being happy and being herself, even when the decisions she's making seem wrong.

i've liked carolyn mackler since i was a teenager reading "love and other four letter words" so it's a treat to catch up on her other books. i accidentally read guyaholic before this one, which gave me a different perspective on v. i read this in two sittings on my porch while hunkering down to avoid the woodward dream cruise.
