review 1: Libby Kelting is just graduating from high school in Minnesota and her best friend Dev has a great idea of how to make money the summer before the both head off to their respective colleges. Exaggerating the amount of supervision a bit, he signs them up to set up a storefront and sell custom ordered, historically accurate clothing to the reenactors of Confederate battles all over the South. Following the Fifteenth Alabama Volunteer Infantry, Dev and Libby cross paths with another ghost story, helpful teens in uniform and Libby's long distance boyfriend, Garrett. It's a quick read, fun for summer and I would have loved it as a teen.
review 2: This is a breezy, light teen novel with a bit of history lesson, a bit of romance, and a bit of mystery mixed into an app... moreealing package. Libby Kelting, our heroine, is a self-professed history nerd, and is excited when she gets the chance to spend a summer following around her best friend, Dev, a "fabulous" fashion designer--and stereotypically gay to boot. Dev's going to be selling his gorgeous custom period clothing to Civil War re-enactors, and Libby is recruited as his model. Libby already has a boyfriend, but sure enough meets a handsome and appealing Southern boy, complete with Ashley Wilkes manners and comportment and a ghost haunting him. This is a sequel to the author's prior novel featuring the same heroine, "Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink," but it can be read independently. A good choice for teens looking for a light summer read sans vampires or dystopian angst. less
