1970s Childhood

This was a really fun and interesting book. It's more specifically about childhood in 1970s Great Britain, and as someone who had a 1970s childhood in California, it was intriguing learning about what kids were into and doing across the pond. I admit, I had to google a lot while reading this, but many things were familiar- the Bay City Rollers (Derek was my favorite!), the Sindy doll, wearing crocheted clothes. Some things were strange- the 1976 heatwave especially. It's difficult for me to wrap my head around temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s Fahrenheit in summer being a heatwave- I'm used to 100+, that sounds nice! But then, I'm used to it, I imagine it would be quite a shock if you weren't. I really enjoyed reading this, and getting a peek into someone else's childhood.

I did not realize this book was about the 70’s in Britain, but, it still was as enjoyable read!!!This brought back memories of growing up in the 70’s. It was nice to read about how the era played out for others. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on my review.

This was a fun read, looking back at childhood in the 70s. I'm more of an 80's kid and grew up in the US so some of the UK-specific references were unfamiliar to me, but I did relate to some of the content and growing up in the same time period isn't necessary to enjoy the book.

Thank you to Osprey Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
