Kenny Marimee longs to find his place in this world. He would also like to have one normal date before he dies. BOY MEETS GIRL chronicles the adventures of Kenny and his offbeat friends, and their quirky, awkward relationships with females from pre-kindergarten through high school. The story is told by Kenny himself as he looks back on the hilarious, goofy, and bewildering times he shared with his friends and with girls, from the perspective of an eighteen year-old about to go away to college in 1981.Joining Kenny on his quest is Bobby Driscoll, the well-meaning, but unlucky best friend of Kenny. There's Johnny Corcoran, the strong, intelligent boy whose Irish-Catholic guilt won't allow him much fun. There's Tony Morretoni, the public school "bad boy" who stirs up trouble. And there's Eddie, the cheapest kid ever to hit the dating scene. In a prairie behind Kenny's house, the boys build a clubhouse out of old railroad ties. It is there that they spend their days forging friendships, solving the world's problems, and planning the perfect date.First novel from award-winning playwright Robert Lynn (The ReGifters; The Stupid Economy).
