Interesting tie to Mad Men. I love that show and I loved these books.
I just discovered these books for the first time - what fun!
What a gorgeous cover! I'm so so so happy that these new editions are coming out. These two were, I think, my favorites. I just loved seeing how things turned out for Betsy & Joe and also that Betsy remained herself through it all.
Oh, I am so excited to see this book! I love the Betsy and Tacy books, and I can't wait to add this to my class library. Thanks for sharing this with us!
