About this listen

During the tumultuous year of 1968, four teens are drawn together: Ronnie Bingham, who is grieving his brother’s death in Vietnam; Milo, Ronnie’s bookish best friend; Ramrod, a star athlete who is secretly avoiding the draft; and Hana, the new girl, a half-Japanese badass rock-n-roller whose presence doesn't sit well with their segregated high school. The four outcasts find sanctuary in The Vinyl Underground, a record club where they spin music, joke, debate, and escape the stifling norms of their small Southern town. But Ronnie’s 18th birthday is looming. Together, they hatch a plan to keep Ronnie from being drafted. But when a horrific act of racially charged violence rocks the gang to their core, they decide it’s time for an epic act of rebellion.

I honestly cannot recommend this book enough, fantastic story, beautifully written and narrated. I do not understand why this book has not been reviewed before this one, maybe the algorithm is out on this cause it should be getting pushed a lot more by Audible. If you are a fan of the nostalgic non-horror books by Stephen King then you would love this trip through 1960's Americana, back set by the hippy anti-war movement and the effects it had on American youth. I've never read anything by Rob Rufus before but I have just bought another one of his books solely on the strength of this one.

Highly recommended
