Stuck in the 70s


Today is the last day of the trimester before final exams. It is usually a busy day. However, if you need something to read during final exams. This is a fun read.

Stuck in the 70s by D.L. Garfinkle is a light-hearted book. Tyler wakes up in the middle of the night to find a gorgeous naked girl in his bathtub. Shay thinks this is a practical joke. One minute she is partying in 2006 and the next thing she knows there’s a dorky guy staring at her insisting that it is now 1978. Spoiled rich girl Shay wants nothing more than to get back to 2006 while Tyler wouldn’t mind if she would stay for a while. They strike a deal. Tyler will try to figure out a way to get her back to the future and Shay will help Tyler shed his science geek reputation and become part of the popular crowd. Soon Shay is turning Tyler’s life upside down with her modern ideas.

This book is told in alternating chapters by Shay and Tyler so the reader sees both sides of the story. It is a fun story of finding love and one’s true identity and what is really important in life. It is not a deep book, but a fun read.
