Always Something There To Remind Me

by Beth Harbison
St. Martin's. Jul. 2011. c.368p. ISBN 9780312599102. $24.99. F
COPY ISBN
Erin has spent the last 20 years unable to forget her first love, Nate. Despite having a successful career, a teenage daughter, and a great new boyfriend, she still gets lost in memories of Nate and their turbulent teen romance. When he appears back on the scene, Erin obsesses over what could have been. Told in chapters alternating between the past and the present, Harbison's (Thin, Rich, Pretty; Hope in a Jar) latest will be enjoyed by readers who came of age in the 1980s, but too many teen sex scenes may make some readers uncomfortable (or worse, bored). [See Prepub Alert, 1/24/11.]
