At its heart, Rosy is a tense tale of how one easy decision can set us down a path that is hard to reverse. Rosy is easy to like and I quickly became invested in seeing her meet and overcome the challenges she faced. It's a great coming-of-age story with widespread appeal.However, for this child of the seventies, the setting made this story even more enjoyable. Tyrpak captured the attitude and climate of the decade perfectly. A nice little touch were the chapter headings, each a song title or a snippet of lyric that summarized the chapter while evoking some musical nostalgia. As a music geek, a link to the song on Amazon made me happy, as I was able to quickly answer the question "who sung that" when I was stumped. Those who read the book on a suitable device should even be able to stop for a short short musical interlude between chapters while listening to a sample of each song.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.
