This is a quick read and kept my attention. The story is set in the l950's and the main characters are in their late teens and have interests mainly in what they were going to wear, the local gossip, parties and drinking at every opportunity. The story takes place in England when the teenage worship of Johnny Ray the singer had girls this age enthralled. The girls and guys are trying to fit into the expectations of the parents while still adapting to the changing life of post World War II as England tried to adjust to a more modern way of life. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. Genny
