This new YA novel is perfect for fans of The Beatles who want a little timetravel back to the sixties. The author does a fantastic job of grasping the atmosphere of the sixties in every detail. From all the details of the beginning of the Beatles, to their other album where they became more psychedelic after some band members had traveled to India, from the outfits and make up that got you '''The London look'' to Trudy's mom who is attending a quite new kind of meeting of feminists, and all the protests and news surrounding the Vietnam war. It all was worked out well, as where the characters and the fun storyline. I loved how everything fell into place in the end,it just was the right conclusion to an already awesowe bew book, that I recommend reading!!
