Cath and Scott are best friends who grew up on the same block and never experienced life without each other. That bond is tested when Cath goes off to college several hundred miles away, and Scott stays behind in their hometown to sell menswear in his Dad's shop. Their lives are seemingly taking different directions. Together, they were Tornadoes, class of 1982. But what will they become?

The book is written entirely in the format of letters exchanged back and forth between Cath and Scott. I have to admit, I find the premise a bit hokey. I mean, outside of war and possibly prison, what 18-year-old guy writes this manyletters to a platonic girl friend? Overall, though, it was enjoyable to read, and I laughed pretty hard at some of Scott's letters. I did feel the expected ending came abruptly, like the authors only had x amount of paper and needed to fit it in before they ran out.

This is a cute, fluffy read that does not require a serious time investment. It's forgettable but fun and good when you're craving something lighthearted.
