Summary
Dottie and Mary forged a friendship over a bag of penny sweets when they were eight years old. They've shared everything together since then. Now, at seventeen, they're both shopgirls working at Woolworths.
As they go out in the world in pursuit of love and happiness and life becomes more complicated, the simplicity of their childhood dissolves. The heady excitement of first love will consume them both, but the pain of unintentional betrayal will test their friendship.

A true loving friendship
An amazing story from start to finish.
So funny, poignant sad it tells the story of the love and times of 2 children growing up in the 60’s Brighton
Brilliantly narrated by Rebecca. She kept me gripped to find out what was going to happen next.
I will look for other books by the same author and hopefully narrated by the same person

Life has a habit of taking over, like it or not.
What a beautiful raw story of how much friendship can mean to someone, life sometimes takes over & we have to deal with it. beautiful story, read well.

Lovely book
When I first listened to this book i was unimpressed and didn't rate it very well, I gave it a bad review (which I have since taken down) The reason being at that stage I hadn't realized that this book was part of a trilogy.
The first book in the series is called 'When we danced at the end of the Pier'' which was an absolutely brilliant listen with superb narration. So after finishing the book
'When we danced at the end of the Pier' I gave 'The girls from see saw lane'
another chance and this time around I enjoyed it so much. It really enhanced the story knowing the background of the characters from the previous book.
Currently listening to the final book in the series 'Counting Chimneys' and already I'm hooked and can't put it down.
I would highly recommend these books, they are full of so many emotions that will have you laughing and sobbing.
Enjoy !!

Incredibly touching, brilliantly performed
The performance really brought the characters, young and old, the humour and sadness to life. I really loved this and wasn’t exiting much.

lovely book
I enjoyed the book so much I listened to it twice . A story of love and friendships , sometimes we meet someone in life that you know will be your friend forever , childhood friends are the most important and this book took me back to my teenage years , growing up meeting boys and making mistakes , then something terrible happens that will change someone's life forever . this is one of those books , learning about life and the loss of a best friend . excellent book with a sad ending but a promise was kept .

Great story
I loved this story. Brought back memories of my teenage years in the 60s. The warmth of the friendship, the funny moments and the tears I cried at the end
