Helpful Score: 2

One of my favorite books! Haven Kimmel captures that time and place perfectly, in a realistic, yet hilarious way. I grew up in the same era, similar social class and could really relate to a lot of references. I loved that aspect of it, but the authors gift for turns of phrases and comedic writing were what made the book for me. She can also present poignant moments in a way that isn't too corny or maudlin. It's one of those books that I can go to when I'm feeling glum, and it will be an immediate pick me up! I don't know how many times I've re-read it! If you enjoy stories of simpler times (and a good laugh) you must read!
