Love Me Do

De: Jonnie Comet

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Have you ever dreamt about some- one who didn't know you were alive? Have you ever been tongue-tied just trying to say hello? Have you ever sworn to God you'd do anything to win someone's heart, if you could only think of something to do?

She's bright and beautiful, and doesn't realise just why she's appreciated; he's talented and daring and doesn't realise he's being modest. There's more than just a little of them in all of us. Here are the hopes and wishes and fears you've never shared with anyone else, in a romantic drama set back in the mid-Seventies, 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.


Since its first appearance in 1990, Jonnie Comet's watershed first novel, now in its Fourth Kindle edition, has remained as timeless as ever. This paean of American high-school life in the not-quite-enlightened 1970s, a kind of 'Romeo and Juliet', 'American Graffiti', and 'The Great Gatsby' rolled into one, is ripe - and relevant - for a new generation.
