Penny Bloom, the daughter of extreme Beatles fans, is a girl who after a horrible summer decides boys are the devil's spawns. She's tired of how boys treat her and other girls and says nothing good can come from scum ( Her other word for boys). So she makes up The Lonely Hearts Club, which members are Penny, herself, and her. It's a club that states that you will not date for the remaining of High School and will make time for yourself and for your friends. Penny thought that it would be a small club with just herself, but she isn't the only one tired of boys' actions. Soon the club is bigger then ever and really thats too bad because Penny just happens to find a boy she likes.

Eulberg has created a read that captures the way young girls today are thinking, but also shares that not ALL boys just want to get in your pants. I enjoyed it because I loved the club aspect. All friends together, helping each other with homework or a fundraiser for the basketball team. I just loved it. As my review title states, it's a read for all the broken hearted.
