(A revised edition of "Way, Way Back", the first book in the Way Back series. Contains all the characters from the retellings, plus all-new events!)
Alyssa Houlton is an eighteen-year-old college freshman, working her way through the struggles of college.
However, on a seemingly normal Saturday morning in September, a dull headache that had been plaguing Alyssa since that Thursday suddenly intensifies, which causes her to black out and collapse on her bed.
When she wakes up, she realizes one highly obvious thing- not only is she not in her bedroom, she's no longer in the present, either!
She's in the year 1958, and she's on the floor of a recording studio in the Gee Records building. There, she meets The Teenagers, a doo-wop group hoping to rise back to the top of the music charts.
As Alyssa slowly adjusts to her newfound life in the 1950s, she meets some unique friends; along the way, she falls in love with Sherman, the Teenagers' tall, clever bass singer, and Joe, the Teenagers' lovably goofy and witty baritone.
Most importantly, will Alyssa decide to go back to the present?
