Summary
Dottie and Mary forged a friendship over a bag of penny sweets when they were eight years old. They've shared everything together since then. Now, at seventeen, they're both shopgirls working at Woolworths.
As they go out in the world in pursuit of love and happiness and life becomes more complicated, the simplicity of their childhood dissolves. The heady excitement of first love will consume them both, but the pain of unintentional betrayal will test their friendship.

Captured the minds of teenagers.
Takes a while to build characters, but makes them believable so stick with it. A moving story of childhood friends growing up and facing realities of life.

A trip sown memory Lane for me
The Story line reminded me of my childhood, and captured beautifully the way things were in the 1960's

1960s innocent love tangle
2 best friends live a happy innocent life. Their coming of age sends shock waves through their relationship.
It is a story of courage through adversity, of staying true to what you believe despite the dreadful unfairness of live.
A charming, fairly light read. Beautiful descriptive passages bring the story to life in a vividly visual way, often through the most mundane of actions.

I loved this story. Brought back memories of my teenage years in the 60s. The warmth of the friendship, the funny moments and the tears I cried at the end
