annarella 's review for:

Once in a Lifetime by Suzanne Grieco Mattaboni
4.0

I wanted to read this book as I'm more or less of the same age of Jennifer and nostalgia can be strong.
The author did a good job in describing the mood and the atmosphere of that era and the character's ideas and aspiration are typical of my generation.
This a coming of age story, a summer when all seemed possible and you became a young adult.
I liked the well developed and likeable characters and the pop references to music and movies.
It's a book that requires some patience as it's quite slow in the first part but if you persevere the second part is excellent.
I was sad to say goodbye to Jennifer and her friends.
Recommended.
Many thanks for this digital copy, all opinions are mine.
