Annotation: In her sequel to Vegan Virgin Valentine, Carolyn Mackler follows the adventures of man-hopping V who panics and flees the scene when the guy she's been seeing falls in love with her.
Summary: Mackler strikes a winning chord again in this book about boy-crazy, somewhat “slutty” V, who after a period of reform, returns to her wayward ways, and loses Sam, the guy who loves her, when she's busted making out in the bathroom with another guy at a party. Unable to face Sam after sabotaging their relationship, V sets off on a road-trip to find her flighty mother, but ends up finding herself.
Notes: Teen girls will appreciate the complexity of this character who is looking for love, but at the same time, has been taught by experience, to be afraid of it.
