Produktbeschreibung
This coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of the mid-1990s Midwest, follows Cassandra, a high schooler whose big dreams clash with her family's conservative expectations, as she comes into her own while navigating the complexities of teenage sex and dating. Fourteen-year-old Cassandra Economos doesn't fit the mold of her traditional Greek family. She's always been a good kid, but lately she's begun to question how much influence her relatives' expectations should really have on her life. Cassie doesn't understand why anyone would want to stay in Sterling, IL when there's a whole world out there to explore and experience. She wonders why her brother Chris gets showered in love and affection after becoming a father at 25, when she and her sister, Vanessa, aren't even allowed to date before they're his age. And she'd rather go see Nirvana play live in Chicago than attend her homecoming dance. Perfect for fans of Now Is Not the Time to Panic and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, this series-starter traces the social entanglements of the Economos sisters and their friends - from bodice-rippers and bad sex to secret boyfriends and matters of consent - through Cassie's diary entries from 1993 to '97.

Autorenporträt
Melina Druga is an author and freelance writer with a background in journalism. She also is an history enthusiast. Her focus is on the period 1890-1920 with a particular interest in WW1 and how the war changed the lives of ordinary people. Druga finds this era fascinating because it is simultaneously familiar and antiquated, and because the events that happened during this time period set the tone for the remainder of the 20th century. When not writing, Druga often can be found watching true crime TV. Her favorite programs involve forensics and solving cold cases. She also enjoys delving to the world of Ripperology and H. H. Holmes. Follow Melina on social media @MelinaDruga. For more information, visit www.melinadruga.com.
