Review by Deborah Adele
"May I Have Your Attention Please" is a heartwarming coming-of-age story that can be enjoyed by readers of any age. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the lives of Sally, James, and their friends as they faced relatable challenges. While those who experienced the 80s may appreciate the references and nostalgic moments, I believe it can resonate with readers of all ages.
James never expected to fall in love with Sally, but it happened on the first day of junior year. They were acquaintances in junior high, but Sally went to a private school for a year, and now she's back. Something has changed, and it only took three days for their romance to blossom. James and Sally navigate their emotions and the challenges of high school, including social inequality, family addiction, and mental health issues, all while trying to stay focused in class. They rely on their close-knit group of friends as they discover the joys and surprises of first love. However, can their relationship survive?
Throughout the story, they learn about the importance of loyalty and cherishing first friendships. This authentic love story transports readers back to high school in the 1980s, with all the iconic music, fashion, and culture that defined that era.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the "McKinney High Class of '86" series, which follows seven childhood friends as they navigate life into adulthood.
