You Keep Thinking It: Jake, Donny, and Dibs

You Keep Thinking It is a charming coming-of-age story set in a small Canadian City, Chatham, in 1963. It follows the day-to-day experiences of fourteen-year-old Jake Barnes, during a summer of personal growth and changes related to friendship, family, girls, and school.

Part of the charm of You Keep Thinking It involves Jake's attempts to deal with issues including a growing attraction to the opposite sex, his evolving relationship with his sister, his friendships, and his desire to become more independent. We follow Jake as he searches for what everyone else is searching for-the universal desire for acceptance.

If you are looking for a delightful, nostalgic read that will transport you back to a simpler time when young people struggled with age-old adolescent issues without the assistance of a Google search or a kids' helpline, this may be a book for you.
