My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park
Steve Kluger
What makes up a Most Excellent Year? Three Boston high school juniors look back at their freshman year, through journals, emails, and notes. It was the year T.C. decided to woo Alejandra the moment he saw her. It was the year Augie figure out (after everyone else) that he is gay. It was the year Alejandra started to think about what she really wanted, instead of what her father expected. A year filled with romance, friendship, drama, and magic.
Cute to the point of being a bit precious, this book captures Boston in a lovely way, and brings to life a cast of adorable well-intended characters who you will wish were your friends/classmates/students. For any romantic who loves Boston, musicals, baseball, or just cheeseball sweetness.
