Mixtape 91-92

Description

September 1991. Ferrer has far more at stake than a few retake exams: if he doesn't make it into the next year, he could be left behind while his friends move on without him.

But this year doesn't only bring impossible teachers, a hunger for fun and a gang that seems indestructible. There's also Carmen, a new classmate who knows exactly what she wants and who brings an unexpected variable into a year Ferrer thought was pretty much settled.

Between songs, a half-formed band, an exchange trip to France and feelings that start to break through, Ferrer will have to hold on to everything that still seems his before it starts to change.

Mixtape 91-92 is a funny, moving and nostalgic novel about friendship, first love and that final school year when youth still seems endless, just before it starts slipping away.

And, like every good cassette tape, it hides its own songs between the lines for readers who know how to listen.
