It’s so true that Amy’s life imitates that of Goldilocks’s story. Out of the three men she’s dating, she has to decide which one would be the best fit for her. I thought it was a really clever premise to write a story that parallels that of a children’s book, considering the type of job that Amy has. While she works on revisions, she’s also working on revising her own life.
Until reading this book, I’d never even heard of the Goldilocks Planet theory! I had to look it up, and it’s a real thing, based on the range of distance a planet can be from its star, and it’s ability to maintain temperatures that will be right for water to remain liquid. Again, this felt like it fit in nicely with the storyline, since Amy is ultimately looking for someone who will sustain her. She isn’t the type to search for flings, preferring stability within a relationship. For her, she needs to know if the older man, the man her age, or the man who is younger than her fits into her world, and what that might mean for the long haul.
Another thing I liked about The Girl in the ‘67 Beetle, was the Beetle! It’s its own character, particularly with one of the men. Amy becomes known by the car she drives, an extension of her, much like her career and what she is passionate about. While at times the dialogue felt like it went on a little too long, it was still quirky and engaging nonetheless. It was a sweet, breezy read!
