 SYNOPSIS:

Some scars go further than skin deep…

1988 doesn’t end well for Jessica Abraham. In just one week she turns thirty, loses her day job, and loses the role of Ophelia to a younger actress. Rallying, she goes after a part at a theater outside of the city, but the director’s plan to hide her beauty behind hair, makeup, and wardrobe from Cosmo’s “Don't” column shakes her confidence to the core. For the first time in her acting career, she won’t be able to rely on her carefully managed physical charms. Only her craft will count. On a snowy night early in January 1989, a woman calls into DJ Callihan Alonso’s alt-rock radio show at the end of her commute. He asks her to call back the next night, and the next, just so he'll know she’s home safe. There's something about her voice that has him wanting more, but the longer they talk, the closer she gets. Compromising each and every wall he's built around his heart. If two lonely people fall in love over late-night phone calls, will meeting face-to-face make them, or break them?

In this heart-rending but happy-ending retro rom-com, it may be the end of a decade,

but it’s the beginning of a love story.

Katie's Review:

    At first, I had a hard time getting into this book. The story of Cal and Jess is set in the late 80s, when I was still playing with my She-Ra and Nintendo Gameboy, once I got past the time warp (for me), their story was very cute. (I don’t know why my brain has an easier time traveling back to the time of knights and dragons then to the 80s) 
   You might say this story is Beauty and the Beast with some other personal issues thrown in there. They both got the help they needed and worked through their issues. I’m just sad the story of those two ended so abruptly.
     I definitely like Karen Gray’s writing and will be checking out the other books Boston Classics series soon
