Description

It was Boston in the 1960s - a time when nightclubs, bars and lounges had the city alive at night, and a good time could continue after hours; And when entertainers frequented the city to take advantage of its nightlife. Add in the world of the sporting life, and Boston's deceiving glamour could not be denied. In the middle of it all were five best friends known as "squares", who attended high school by day, and received a far different education by night. The girls road in Cadillacs, drank in bars and explored their sexual awareness. They made a pact to just have fun and enjoy the rest. Their fun was innocent, the culture wasn't. Their values are tested. Consequences arise, and prices must inevitably be paid. "They were campaigning to get elected, with no shame their game" Bonnie McIlvaine "This slice of American History is fascinating. It's the Black experience of the 60's we didn't see on Mad Men. And its the music and party scene that proceeded Rap." Reel Books
