Relation During Books Not Exactly a Love Story
It's 1977.Fifteen-year old Vinnie isn't having a good year. He's recovering from the worst case of galloping acne his dermatologist's ever seen. His girl moved to California without even saying good-bye. And the ink on his parents divorce papers is barely dry, when his mom announces that they're moving from Queens to Long Island.
The silver lining in all this is that they move next door to Patsy—everyone's dream girl. Not that she'd ever notice him. But when Vinnie calls Patsy one night, it leads to a chain of anonymous midnight conversations. Under the cover of darkness, Vinnie becomes Vincenzo, Patsy's mystery caller, and the two share a side of themselves they would never reveal in daylight and develop a surprisingly real connection (despite the lies it's built on). As Vinnie gets to know Patsy in real life though, it becomes clear both identities can't survive and he'll have to find a way to hangup the phone and step into the daylight. Fraught with complications and crackling with witty dialogue, and all the angst and electricity that comes with always being just a phone wire away from the one you want, acclaimed author Audrey Couloumbis's YA debut is a smooth-talking Cyrano meets Saturday Night Fever and tells a quirky, flirty, and smart story that will appeal to fans of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Frank Portman's King Dork, Natalie Standiford's How to Say Goodbye in Robot, and John Green's An Abundance of Katherines. It's not exactly a love story . . . but it's pretty close.

When 15-year-old Vinnies parents divorce he tries to be supportive of each of them. But hes having a bad year: he has a raging case of acne, the girl hes secretly loved for two years moved to California without so much as a goodbye, his dog died, he got mugged and hes failing gym. Could things get worse? Of course they could. His mother has a conference with the gym teacher, Mr B and then another meeting and then dinner. Now, suddenly theyve married and theyre moving to Long Island for Mr BsI really liked the short chapters this book had, I was more encouraged to read another chapter because of the length. The content told a classic teenage romance story in a creative way.
When a awkward teen from the 70's decided to call the girl next door and pretend to be someone else, he sets himself up for quite the adventure. A quick read written it what would HAVE to be how the teenage boy mind actually sounds! 😂
Summary: [This will be spoiler free, but the actual review below will not]. The story is set in 1977, following a 15 year old boy called Vinnie Gold. He has a horrible case of acne, was recently left by his girlfriend and found out his parents are divorcing so its safe to say his life is pretty shitty at best. Very soon, his mother falls in love with Vinnies gym teacher Mr. B., and the trio move to Long Island. While hes incredibly upset, Vinnie finds a distraction from his problems his super
Yes, this is completely different from everything else I've ever read. Yes, this is for teens. Yes, this was completely cheesy. But despite that, I absolutely loved this book. I was in the mood for a light, fluffy, cheesy book and that was exactly what I got.☎Short summary: a young teen boy, Vinny, anonymously calls Patsy, his dream girl living next door. This leads to him to calling daily and they have late night conversations and they develop a real connection, all the while Patsy still has no
Vinny Gold has bad luck. His crush moved away on Valentine's Day, his dog died and his parents announced they're getting a divorce. Oh, and he turned 15 and began to break out with terrible acne on his face. I want to preface this review by saying I think I should've read this the year it came out because it really doesn't fit the current age. However, this book is pitched as "set in 1977", yet there's not anything implemented to keep reminding me that the characters are living in 1977 aside
it was an enjoyable read i really liked it but o had some issues with it .. i gave it 3 out of 5
