Be True to Me
Author: Adele Griffin
Genre: YA Historical/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 13, 2017
Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers
Synopsis:
It's the summer of 1976 on Fire Island, where feathered hair and the Bicentennial celebration reign. Jean, a sometimes cruel, often insecure, and always envious rich girl, is accustomed to living in her glamorous older sister’s shadow. So when Gil Burke, a handsome newcomer with uncertain ties to one of the most powerful families in the exclusive enclave of Sunken Haven, notices Jean — not her sister — Jean is smitten. Then Fritz, a girl from outside the gilded gates who humiliated Jean in the Island’s tennis championship last year, falls for Gil herself. Soon the girls are competing for much more than a tennis trophy, with higher stakes than either of them can imagine.
Told through the alternating perspectives of Jean and Fritz, as they experience feeling like an outsider and first love.

I enjoy reading historical fiction as well as stories told in dual points of view. Fire Island is a place I've never visited, so the setting sounds exciting too.
ReplyDeleteThis playlist totally had me wanting to make my own 70's playlist. I love Saturday Night by Bay City Rollers-- and EVERYTHING Steve Miller Band!!
