Annie on My Mind (Upstarts S.) (Aerial fiction)

This so totally and completely holds up after all this time. The audio version is fantastic and I couldn't stop listening. I love the tension and back in forth between HS senior year and college freshman year.

The version I listened to even had an interview with the author which was great and I rarely listen to extras like that.

The bigotry pissed me off SO much with the "crazy" and the religious shit especially, and I almost died from second hand embarrassment, but the adorable, realistic love story is just...*melts*
