The small seaside town of York, Maine is the perfect backdrop for this lighthearted novel. Like most people, music has always been a huge influence on my life, my moods, and on my attempt at finding love. From my close friends - to my summer romances - and all the crazy shenanigans in between, music not only highlights these memories, but provides a nostalgic soundtrack for the highs and lows of growing up and growing apart. It is said, there hasn't been a girl who I've had a crush on that I haven't made a mixtape for - the guarded Elise Carlile in the summer of '95 was no exception.
