Review by Deborah Adele
Debby Meltzer Quick's second book in the McKinney High Class of 1986 series is an engaging read that is sure to captivate readers. The book is a coming-of-age story that follows the journey of two friends, Kim and Carl. The story is set in the 80s, before the advent of social media, and takes readers on a nostalgic trip down memory lane to a time when life was simpler.
The book explores Kim and Carl's relationship in great detail, chronicling their ups and downs as they navigate the complexities of growing up in a world that is changing rapidly for them. Both Kim and Carl had their share of personal problems at home, which made them wary of getting hurt and kept them from expressing their true feelings for each other. However, as the story progresses, we see them open up to each other and learn to trust and love one another more deeply.
The book is a fantastic read for young adults, but it also has universal appeal, as it delves into themes of friendship, love, and personal growth that are relevant to readers of all ages. Whether you lived through the eighties or not, you are sure to be captivated by this heartwarming story.
