I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Set in the 80's I was immediately intrigued. I would've been exactly the same age as Sarah and, for me, it was a brilliantly written trip down memory lane. The characters are real and believable, (everyone had a friend like Sarah: that one girl who made every bad decision, dated every wrong guy and expected you to pick up the pieces). The story is well thought out and moves smoothly without feeling rushed. It is definitely not a feel-good, sappy love story, but a true-to-life tale about a young girl who struggles to figure out who she is, what she wants and where she wants to be, often at the expense of people who truly care about her. In my honest opinion, it is a must-read.
