My Rating: ★★★★★ 5 Stars
This was such a cute, coming-of-age, refreshing and stunningly written love story that I had the pleasure and honor of reading.
Billy Marvin loves computers more than anything in the world, that is until he meets Mary Zelinsky who equally (if not more) shares a love of computers in this 1987 coming-of-age beauty.
Billy and his friends are shocked and intrigued when Playboy releases their latest issue featuring the beautiful Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune. The boys are eager to feast their eyes upon her pictures but to do so they conjure up a risky plan to secretly get their hands on a copy for each. Everyone gets to play a part in the heist (which isn't stealing) - Billy's task is to seduce Mary Zelinsky, the daughter of the store's owner and to get access to the security code.
What starts off as the Vanna White mission turns into so much more for young Billy Marvin.
I loved how well written the book was. Yes, there were a few errors here and there but overall the writing style was so clear with strong, vivid descriptions. The main characters felt well-rounded even though we didn't have a whopping history on them.
This was an adventure-filled, fun read that I absolutely adore.
A digital copy was received via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.
