in Pink is the latest book from best-selling author Mike Sacks (
And Here’s the Kicker, Poking a Dead Frog, Stinker Lets Loose).
Passable in Pink deftly sends up the 1980s and John Hughes movies while addressing the vital question: Will Addy Stevenson go to the senior prom?
Addy is suffering through her sophomore year at suburban Chicago’s Northridge High. She lives on the ‚wrong‘ side of the lake with her father, a struggling advertising copywriter (‚Where the hell is the goddamn beef?‘) and her ever-boozy mom (‚Get me another drink, baby, and really make it sing.‘). Addy’s younger brother, Spaz, her soon-to-marry older sister, Princess, and a visiting international transfer student add to the mix.
Her world is turned upside down when she meets Roland Mc Dough, the ‚most beautiful Richie boy‘ at Northridge High. Is he actually interested in Addy, or is he just playing a game?
Are you ready to jump back into the cool, neon-glazed, high-topped reality of the 1980s? Do you miss those kick-ass tubular synth-rockin‘ sounds and delicious phantasma-gaseous smells? When was the last time you put on your Members Only jacket and danced the Safety Dance?
A loving send-up of a bygone era, this is one book in which Every Breath You Take will remind you of How You Used to Be.
