A Summer of Apartment X lurks in everyone's past: the first foray beyond the view of parents, the first attempt at self-support, the shocking recognition that adulthood involves more than sand, sex, and cars. Lesley Choyce recreates this exhilarating adventure in Technicolor, nostalgia for 1970 undercut at every turn by ebullient humour and a touch of mature irony.
The Summer of Apartment X is a beach book for grown-ups who remember how they got that way.
