While written for teens, as a grandmother, I found this book both a nostalgic look back at my own teenage years and a window into the life of modern teens...mutually enhanced and encumbered by today's technologies and the world of social media. When Mallory and her boyfriend of eighteen months , Jeremy, break up after she discovers his cyber girlfriend, Mallory decides to go "vintage"and take a break from all technologies not available in the early 1960s. This era of her grandmother's teenage years seems to Mallory a more romantic less stressful time to be in high school and endure the angst of first loves, homecoming dances, and friendships. Lindsey Leavitt does a great job of capturing the complicated life of teenagers, something we all too often forget once we pass the stage ourselves. Her characterization of Mallory's family and friends captures both the mundane and the critical episodic aspects of family life in general, but particularly the modern family which often seems more splintered and less sustaining than our concept of family life generations ago. This is a fun, yet poignant book that makes for an enjoyable read I recommend it to teenagers and adults alike.
