Love Me Do (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692268896)

Jonnie Comet's watershed first novel of 1990 is a romantic drama set back in the not-quite-enlightened 1970s, when hair was long and shoes had high heels and there was still a chance The Beatles might get back together. Liberally embellished with gas-guzzling hot rods, classic rock-and-roll and slang expressions you haven't heard since before Disco, this is the love story you've never read, of daydreams and detentions, of infatuation and insubordination, of love and literature class, with a special twist to the finale so you can't wait to see what happens come graduation.

High school was exactly like this.

The SIXTH SCS paperback edition includes the Author's 2010 foreword in which the book is compared (most aptly) to both The Great Gatsby and Romeo and Juliet. Instructors, take note: Love Me Do is an excellent choice as summer or prereading in advance of introducing either of those works!

Note: this book contains some moderately-impolite language and socially-awkward situations (appropriate for readers aged 14+).
