Review
A fun take on a well-loved story, Pretty in Punxsutawney introduces us to Andie, a high school senior starting a new school who finds herself repeating the first day over and over, a la Groundhog Day. As the day keeps looping, Andie gets the opportunity to spend time with and learn about many of her new classmates. In seeing them as individuals, and not as just members of different social groups, Andie realizes that they are as similar as they are different. Pretty in Punxsutawney is a solid commentary on looking past differences to find the similar threads that unite us all. Readers will find themselves cheering for Andie in her plans to bring together the different social groups in her high school. Filled with iconic '80s movie references, one epic nursing home party, and, of course, a pretty pink dress, Pretty in Punxsutawney will leave readers wanting to revisit their favorite old movies and hoping that just like in those movies, Andie, too, will get her own happy ending. Pretty in Punxsutawney is a fun ride through iconic '80s movies and modern high school culture that will leave readers cheering for Andie to unite the school, break the loop, kiss the swoon-worthy boy, and find her happy ending.

This book was entertaining and moved along at a good pace. The only complaints I have about the book is that you can tell the book is written by someone who has NOT spent anytime in Punxsutawney:1. There is no multiplex theater in Punxsutawney. There is a community center that shows one movie on the weekend nights.2. There is no mall in Punxsutawney. The closest mall to Punxsutawney is 20+ miles away.3. There is no classes for Teens at the local Catholic school. So, teens she saw in school uniforms would have gone to the Christian school, not the Catholic school.4. Nobody, and I mean, NOBODY ever calls it Punx High. It is Punxsy High. Punx is not a shortened form for Punxsutawney that anybody uses.5. The old person's home in Punxsy does not have a movie theater, rec room, and arcade room.Otherwise, it's a cute story. If it wasn't for the fact that the main character repeats a day over and over like in the movie, Groundhog Day, this book could have been set in any small town.
This book started out really sweet, and continued in the same manner all the way through. As someone who was a teenager in the 80s and still loves all things 80s, especially the movies from that time period. Sixteen Candles and Weird Science, as well as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, were staples from my middle and high school years. The movies that I watched over and over. While I did watch The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, the first I enjoyed more when I got older, and the second, well, I'm not actually the biggest fan of that movie. So the fact that the main character in this book, Andie, isn't as thrilled with it either, won me over to her right away. Not to mention her thoughts on the prom dress that Molly Ringwald's character remade in the movie Pretty in Pink totally mirror my own. Of course the awkwardness of Andie's "meet-cute" with Colton, and Tom, is something that sounds like my kind of luck as well.I also am a fan of the movie Groundhog Day, and I loved that this one was a teen version. The references to movies that Andie pulls to try to help with her experiences is so me, and something I would do, or something my family would do. So to me, this was a perfect story. I liked how she learned that different cliques weren't always the way we stereotype them, and that she kind of started with a group that is almost always vilified, the cheerleaders. The fact that they were such a great bunch of girls really, and the whole Maya house thing, that was awesome! I enjoyed how she seemed to try different groups at first. When she figured out that she wasn't maybe meant to be what she'd originally wanted, or that was at least not the way to get out of her time loop, she went to the goths. And I love that she chose a costume from Beetlejuice! Again, the movie nerd in me loved it. In theh end, the way that she finally ended up breaking the cycle was perfect. It wasn't too easy, or simple, and it took a lot to really get it the right way. A lot of things that she thought that didn't work out the way she planned and led into the perfect night, or ending you might say.Now, I do wonder if really she would have caught on and tried for a different type of ending earlier, before going with the goths, but if she had, that would have led to a much shorter story, or at least she wouldn't have learned quite all that she did about the different groups. That leads me to another point. I loved how she ended up realizing that the group of people who didn't quite fit into any group, was just as bad, or worse at times, at stereotyping the others. I've seen that. The people that felt picked on, but all I ever saw was them making fun of, or picking on the very people that they said acted that way to them.I really hope or guess I could say that I would LOVE to see this as a movie. If only John Hughes was still around, because he'd be perfect to make this one.
A mash-up of Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, and Groundhog Day? Yes, please! When I saw the title of this book, I knew I had to read it, but I was skeptical that it could be done successfully. I'm soooo glad I was wrong! I loved everything about Pretty in Punxsutawney. Andie is a great character with a perfect character arc. She starts out a little nerdy and shy, but hopeful that she can get that perfect first kiss from Colton, once he realizes they are meant to be, of course. When her first day of school goes horribly wrong, however, Andie despairs of ever getting a boyfriend. Too bad she gets to re-do that first day over and over, sometimes okay, sometimes awful, but never getting the guy of her dreams. So Andie makes it her mission to do some good, and overturn the heirarchy of cliques that make up her new high school. Along the way she learns a lot about herself, about love, and about what is really important.
