About this ebook

 Big hair, leg warmers, bitchin’ music, and the Brat Pack—what’s not to love about the 80’s? Head back to 1984 in Melt With You (A Totally 80’s Romance)!

September 1984

Junior year is really shaping up to be something. After three years of trying, I finally made the cheer squad. And on the last day of summer practice the demigod of Glen Heights High, Joel Effing Miller, finally notices me—right after he runs me over and lands my leg in a cast. Yeah, junior year is really shaping up to be something.

I swear I didn’t see her. But I’m making it up to her every way I can. I’m driving her to school, helping her to all of her classes. I’ve never met anyone so down to earth—a girl who actually likes the things I like. Melissa Malinowski is a breath of fresh air. I can’t stop thinking about her. I swear I didn’t see her, but I should have. Melissa is too beautiful to miss.

My name is Kelly Masterson, and nobody messes with me. I’m Joel Miller’s girlfriend. So Joel ran Mouse-akowski over with his truck. So what? He should’ve finished her off. And now he wants to break up? As if. Nobody breaks up with me. Joel is mine, and he’s going to stay that way. And after having a nice little chat with his mother, it’s become clear why he’s bending over backward to please that human speed bump. I’ll make sure Mouse-akowski understands this, too. That will be the end of Joel and his nerdy little plaything. My name is Kelly Masterson, and nobody messes with me.

 1984 called and it wants to Melt With You.

Ratings and reviews

I haven't really read a book involving a high school romance since I was in high school in the 80's. I gave this one a shot as it took place during the time I spent in high school. Characters were somewhat relatable even though I was a geeky shy wallflower for the entire duration of my high school experience. The references to the 80's fads and music/musicians were a blast from the past. It was great!!! For a short time I felt sixteen again!!

This was a great book. I'm obsessed with the 80's so I loved all of those references. Took me right back. The story was really great as well. The only thing I didn't like was that Mel stooped to Kelly's level in the end when she told her off in the cafeteria. A truly good person would not have done that.

This story took me back to school, where I was a crowd of one. This didn't bother me that much, since I had different interests than the other kids did. However, I saw how the cliques separated groups of students and the actions involved. This book opens the door to the angst I never experienced, and am glad I didn't. Very well written.
