This is an unbelievable, wonderful book about a group of kids growing up in Long Branch, NJ. Although the names are changed, we all know who every character is. It is so well-written; and i could not put the book down. I am sure I will read it over and over. Not only does it hit close to home, but it is so true to how life was for us, growing up as teenagers in the 60's. Great job, Marc Notari - the book is a hit! It should be a best seller!
