The Hour Between

This is a really nice coming of age novel about a bunch of rich kids at a wacky boarding school in Connecticut. The author, Sebastian Stuart, writes very likeable characters who are imperfect, quirky, funny, and interesting. It's set during the late sixties, and he does a good job incorporating the free love drug culture. And even though the kids come from backgrounds I could never imagine, they still struggle with the same issues all kids struggle with as they enter into adulthood.

My only disappointment with the novel was the ending. I wanted more. Stuart ended his story without giving me the information I wanted, but I think he did that on purpose. He gave me everything I really need to know.
