Yearbooks & Yo-Yos: Crushing The 80s

Reading Yearbooks and Yo-Yos was like popping a mixtape into the Walkman of my soul. It transported me straight back to the ‘80s—hello leg warmers, scratch ‘n’ sniff stickers, and heart-pounding middle school slow dances. Every page oozed with retro vibes and sentimental snapshots that had me grinning like I’d just won a round of Pac-Man!!

The real magic? Steven didn’t just write about the ‘80s—he recreated it. With pitch-perfect details, clever pop culture nods, and a nostalgic heartbeat pulsing through every scene, I didn’t feel like I was reading the past—I felt like I was living it all over again.

And the story of the three brothers? Heartfelt and hilariously human. Their bond felt like the core of a mixtape—equal parts high-energy fun and slow-dance sincerity. Every moment they shared brought me closer to the magic of growing up in that unforgettable decade.

“A heartfelt thank you to Steven for writing this beautiful book—it swept me back to the wonder and warmth of my childhood. Every page stirred up a wave of nostalgia I didn’t know I’d been missing.”
