YA
It's 1977, and fifteen-year-old Vinnie moves from Queens to Long Island. He finds next-door neighbor Patsy's unlisted number on the ground; on the phone they enjoy a flirty chemistry, and their in-person relationship also gradually develops. The story moves to a satisfying conclusion as Vinnie's identity is revealed. Couloumbis's novel, refreshingly sweet and nostalgic, is a solid choice for teenage romantics.
