A Groovy Kind Of Love Kris Lillyman

Told in two parts over the 1970s and 80s, the most stylishly questionable decades in music and fashion history, 'A Groovy Kind Of Love' is the sweet, unconventional and utterly hilarious story of geeky Gordy Brewer and shy loner Daisy Flynn. Gordy is a comic-collecting, TV obsessed, mummy's boy who longs to transform himself from super nerd into super cool in a bid to win the girl of his dreams. Whilst fish-out-of-water Daisy, the only daughter of happy hippy, ex-missionary parents, is the new girl in town with a serious crush on a boy way out of her league. Forming an uneasy bond, built on a mutual love of music, Gordy and Daisy reluctantly join forces in an effort to impress the ones that they so adore. Thus beginning an unlikely friendship which takes them on a life-changing journey that flips everything they thought they knew completely on its head. From the embarrassments and humiliations of the awkward teen years to the trials and triumphs of uncertain adulthood, it sees them searching to find their place in a world neither feel fully equipped for. This nostalgic, fun-filled romp through the fashion fails, scare cuts and growing pains of small town life in the 70s and 80s definitively proves that geeks can be cool after all!PLEASE NOTE: This book was previously published under the title: 'Jam Tops, The Fonz and The Pursuit Of Cool
