Teen RomCom Novel GOING VINTAGE Getting Movie Adaptation

It feels like we are reporting daily on books getting adapted onto film. I love this, because it introduces people to new authors and promotes reading while letting fans of novels see their favorite stories play out on the screen. The most recent novel to get the treatment is the romantic comedy Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt. The adaptation will be written by Kara Holden, who wrote the script for Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, which was a really great movie.

Variety reports the following synopsis for the movie:

The book, published in 2013, follows a 16-year old who discovers that her “perfect” boyfriend is cheating on her with an online girlfriend. When their ugly breakup goes viral, she not only swears off boys but modern technology altogether. Inspired by a list of goals her grandmother made in 1962, she decides to “go vintage” and return to a simpler time to fulfill her grandmother’s teenage bucket list, but modern day problems have her questioning whether there has ever been a “simpler time.”

This sounds like a sweet story that will make a fun movie. Are you excited for this adaptation?
