My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park

My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park - Steve Kluger I flat out LOVED this book. It's a warm, unabashedly romantic romp through the early adolescence of three of the sweetest characters you are ever likely to meet in YA. The parents were my favorite part. Told through emails, diary entries, term papers and IMs, this one grabbed me early on and even though I was well aware of the machinations, I was happy to go along for the whole ride. And I cried at the end. In a good way. The plotting was solid, the story believable, and the world just a little better than the one I live in. This won't be my last Kluger. I've put it on the top of my true love's TBR stack, from whence it will go on my son's and ultimately it will wind up in my stepdaughter's mailbox. Loved it with my whole heart.
