Jesse Dienstag's favorite sweatshirt says, "The real world isn't real." That's the slogan of the vacation-home community in Pennsylvania where his family has always spent every vacation and weekend for as long as he can remember. In the summer of 2019, as Jesse is about to enter his junior year of high school in New York City, he desperately wants to believe the slogan is true. For one thing, the two girls he loves -- equally and desperately -- are in Pennsylvania, and all the stresses and pressures of his daily life and school are in New York.

But when his parents stop talking to each other, it gets harder and harder for Jesse to maintain his dream life in Pennsylvania. And when Covid shuts New York City down in March 2020 just days after Jesse’s mother leaves his father, Jesse's worlds collide.

 

 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A coming of age story from the male perspective with a look at just what it meant to be a teen on the cusp of it all when Covid strikes. As if growing up wasn't hard enough, let's throw an isolating pandemic into the mix!

We all had our own experiences with the shutdown. Figuring out how to manage our time and sanity while we stayed at least 6 feet away from everyone, and then the reintroduction to everyone and everything once again. Sounds easy, but we know it wasn't. Jesse handles it as well as can be expected, but the other challenges life is throwing at him make it seem a little less somehow. Can he survive the impact on his world from things outside of his control? Will his relationships survive the emotional fallout? All good reasons to pick this one up, find your favorite cozy reading spot, and take the plunge....
