Author Bio:
CC Standish is a Seattle
based author and musician who grew up in the Twin Cities. As a college dropout
and blue-collar worker, CC has learned a lot about the importance of a
work/life balance, using his spare time to write on the side. Born into humble
Minnesota beginnings in 1977, at an early age, the arts were CC’s chosen path
over school and sports. Oddly enough, ’77 also marks the year that Elvis died,
Star Wars was born and punk rock shook the world.
Book Review by Carmen:
I absolutely loved this book, and ended up
giving it 5 out of 5 stars. Since I’ve worked in retail, I can definitely
identify with this book. I would recommend this book to those that work in
retail and those that don’t, people that love humour and teenage antics. I’m
unfortunately not going to give any funny spoilers away, you’ll just have to
read the book yourself, but there was a part where Jake and Minnie (Jake’s
girlfriend) adopted a kitten, and there my heart just melted. I also found Jake
sometimes angsty, and I loved the way he recalls his memories. There’s some
good and surprising scenes as well. It seems like this is going to be a series,
and I most certainly wouldn’t mind reading the other books as well. I got a
copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
