Review: I remember when...
Rating: 4 out of 5

I've read everything Laurie Boris has published, and her writing is just as wonderful in Sliding Past Vertical as in her earlier books. But I lived through that era, and made many of the same horrible mistakes as the protagonist, so there was an element of discomfort in reading this tale from the 80's. With the wisdom of encroaching old age, I wanted to shake Sarah Cohen until her teeth rattled. I may have done some yelling as well, something along the lines of 'Don't do it you idiot!'For anyone under 60 however, this story of twenty-somethings finally coming of age should be a truly compelling read. Don't make the same mistakes but do read the book!
