I really enjoyed Thai look at a teen’s life in NYC in late 1980s/early 1990s. As someone who was Carly’s age at that time I enjoyed the references to things from that time period (Swatch watches, Milli Vanilli, Gap clothes). Following Carly in this time of self-discovery and tumultuous time was a great read.
