High school senior Justina Griffith was never the girl who dreamed of going to prom. Designer dresses and strappy heels? Not her thing. So she never expected her best friend, Ian Clark, to ask her.Ian, who always passed her the baseball bat, handle first.Ian, who knew exactly when she needed red licorice.Ian, who promised her the most amazing night at prom. And then ditched her.Now, as the sun rises over her small town, and with only the help of some opinionated ladies at the 7-Eleven, Justina must piece together -- stain by stain on her thrift-store dress -- exactly how she ended up dateless. A three-legged Chihuahua was involved. Along with a demolition derby-ready Cadillac. And there was that incident at the tattoo parlor. Plus the flying leap from Brian Sontag's moving car...But to get the whole story, Justina will have to face the boy who ditched her. And discover if losing out at prom can ultimately lead to true love.Filled with humor, charm, and romance, Ditched: A Love Story by debut novelist Robin Mellom will have readers dreaming of love on their own prom nights.

While this was a light and fluffy read, it was absol...
Prom, a time when Junior and Senior high school students gather to dance and have fun. For some schools, it's the party of the year. I remember my prom. It wasn't as spectacular as I imagined it to be, but it was alright. This book reminded me of my prom back in 2007 & 2008. I had 2 proms. At the be...
Usually I have to be in the right mood to read a book on romance. Every now and again I’ll come across one that will grab my attention. Such was the case with Ditched as you know I love pretty book covers, and Ditched cover was colorful and eye catching. Read the back I proceeded to do an eye roll a...
