In Mickey’s nineteen-year-old eyes, he was everything: older, worldly, accomplished, devastatingly handsome.But married.In a series of flashbacks, Mickey remembers the roller-coaster ride that was her year with Coyote. Along the way, we meet her father—a real prick—and Katie, Mickey’s pleasantly cynical older friend who can read her mind.But teenagers grow up, married men lie, and now twenty-four-year-old Mickey needs to resolve a few questions that linger over her year of frustrated love.Originally published in 1986 by Bantam New Fiction, Publisher’s Weekly called it “an appealing, fast-paced story.”
