Ever Fallen in Love David Barton

EVER FALLEN IN LOVE - Sharon Pendelbury is that unobtainable girl; the "fittest girl in school"; the type of girl that is only ever interested in lads who play for the school footy team and not some skinny, pale loser like me. I can only dream of ever getting the chance to go out with her. But then, owing to some bizarre, unfathomable twist of fate (or maybe due to some sort of vision impairment on her part) I manage to pull the aforementioned goddess of the Fifth Form (the year above me) and then the trick is to keep hold of my "prize". There are other loves in my life of course: there's Debbie Harry, Hammer horror movies, Monty Python, listening to John Peel and trying to adhere to all the principles of the music I am hearing (this is the late 70s after all - the tail-end of punk rock!) EVER FALLEN IN LOVE captures a certain period of growing up during the punk rock era of the late 70s, in a small town in the north of England.
