I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book.
It’s set after the war and the synopsis doesn’t really give you much information on what to expect.
But I’m glad I read it. It’s an easy read which I got through in two sittings. The story flowed nicely and the author done a good job in making you feel and understand what life was really like in the 60’s / 70’s
Set in Essex two young girls (best friends) basically dream of being in the ‘cool crew’ which are called the ‘Mods’. They hang around at dances on weekends and bars & coffee shops in the area and talk clothes and boys,which most girls at their age would be doing but I didn’t connect with either of them. If I’m honest..I didn’t actually like either of the girls . One I found to be really bossy and all she did was put her friend down. And the other one was kind of mean and shallow.
I still enjoyed reading about that era and all the music they listen to and the dances they attended. The was a boyfriend called Danny who was in and out of prison and was such a handful but quite funny. And a few other interesting characters. But it’s not my usual style of book. Still worth picking up I’d you like a quick easy read!
