This most be the year for throwbacks to the 1980s in fiction and memoirs. I was born in the eighties, so I have been enjoying stories from that decade.

This book was short compared to other fiction novels, just over 330 pages, and it was an easy read. I read it in two sittings.

The characters are high schoolers who, in the early eighties, were wiser than their age. Private schools, creepy male English teachers, NYC, New Haven, and the East Coast vibe is strong.

I enjoyed this.

I got an ARC from Edelweiss and Penguin in return for an honest review.
