    Summary

    In the spring of 1985, sleep-deprived and semi-reformed mean girl Stevie Harrington sees Eddie Munson in the cafeteria and thinks, ‘That could work.’

    The rest is, as they say, a coming of age.

    “So? Do you like anyone right now?” Max asks.

    “I don’t, not like that. I don’t exactly have a ton of options right now."

    Stevie has to actively push Eddie out of her mind — a specific image of him from the lakehouse. Sleep rumpled as the afternoon light streamed through the shutters, he kissed her forehead and called her sweetheart. They spent a full night and day at the lake-side cabin of Eddie’s shifty friend. Stevie cooked for them. Eddie played his guitar for her. It was an escape — a castle in the sky.
