Review: Coming of Age Story and more
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 2, 2014
Rhiannon and Mike are best friends since tricycle days, only by age 13, Mike's sure he's in love......forever. Rhiannon says best friends are best friends....period.  This sweet and thoughtful tale - from Mike's point of view - follows the pair and their friends from age 13 thru 18, along with all the trials, tribulations, and angst of all teens everywhere.  The story, while a young adult novel, read quite well to this social security aged mom, and I never felt that I was reading a YA book. My only nitpick is the maturity level of the teens portrayed.  Where were they when my son was growing up? Maybe it was his upbringing, along with his secret inheritance, but even at 13, Mike seemed far older emotionally than most of the 22-25 year olds I know.  Eagerly looking forward to reading the next two books in the serial to see where adulthood takes the gang.
