When people get heartbroken, they usually either eat ice cream, bed other people, take pills, or drink their sorrow away, I’m not going to tell you which of those ways I took but you usually don’t form a club and encourage others to stop dating, no offense but that’s just defense mechanism turns desperate and insecure, I’d pity the person. On the other hand, it would be an interesting plot to watch on the big screen…

Here’s the official synopsis of the book…
“Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating. So she vows: no more. It’s a personal choice. . .and, of course, soon everyone wants to know about it. And a few other girls are inspired. A movement is born: The Lonely Hearts Club (named after the band from Sgt. Pepper). Penny is suddenly known for her nondating ways . . . which is too bad, because there’s this certain boy she can’t help but like. . . .”
