On a rainy weekend when all the roads to your suburb get flooded out, there is nothing better than staying in your pyjamas & devouring a good book! 
 This is a very good book. My first read of Rainbow Rowell and will not be the last. ("Oh damn", says the bank account, "She's found another new author!"). 
 Rainbow captures The 80s to a tee, and even though I am a bit young (born in '84), to have experienced them first-hand, the music and clothing references kept it real. I could relate well to the characters and enjoyed how the book ended. 
 (view spoiler)[ For fans of a HEA this book may leave you wanting, but as the lead characters are in their teens, you can imagine what happens next, as Rainbow leaves it open to the possibilities in those "three little words"... (hide spoiler)]
