This story feels so real I had to check to see if it wasn't a memoir, the writing feels totally authentic and really captures the feel of the time, If you want to get a feel of teenage life in small-town America before Netflix, mobile phones and endless TV, this gives you that authentic vibe. Loved it!

Beautiful coming of age story

Now this was a bit of a trio down memory lane for me.

For starters I loves the narrations voice and fluency, such an easy listen.

Navigating romances at a movie theatre just brought back so many memories for me.

A nostalgic summer of roller skating, drive-ins, friendship, and young love. This novel takes place in simpler times without mobile technology, where what played on the radio and catching up with friends or your crush on the landline payphone down the road was the teenage obsession by day and hanging out at the drive-in at night. Although so different to our modern times, the challenges of navigating family dynamics, awkward coming of age in friendship and blossoming love are universally similar. A recommended relaxing and entertaining listen.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy
