Product Description
In the summer of 1974 straight-laced Jay doesnt like beer, doesnt do drugs, and finds the whole hip revolutionary concept a little convoluted. Shes an artist, but her realistic outlook and painting doesnt fit in with the art scene. It comes as no surprise that when she follows her high school crush from Victoria to the University of Toronto, expecting to fall in love, she is instead overwhelmed by throngs of hippies, judgmental art teachers, and boy-crazy sorority girls. With freewheeling attitudes towards sex and love swirling around her, Jay could not possibly be more confused about where she stands in the grand scheme of things. Sally Clarks novel perfectly captures a sexual and social revolution that was not all it was cracked up to be.
