This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. ...more

So, you wanna read something sweet that takes you back to the silly girl you were in high school??? READ THIS BOOK!
This is the story of Trip and Layla, two teens who attend the same high school in the 90’s. Trip is the ‘new kid’ in school and he happens to be intelligent, funny and also gorgeous in a cute kinda way. And Lay, she’s just a great heroine. A smart ass that will make you pee with all her inner thoughts and her crazy sentences.
Do you want to remember the first time you look into the ...more

Are you there, God? It’s me, Layla. I know I just jerked off some guy who is not even my boyfriend in the bathroom of this crappy, brown house. But if you could find a way to kill me quickly and painlessly within the next ten seconds, I promise never to touch another penis again. Well, I’ll be dead, so, I guess I promise not to whore it up in heaven. Which, of course is where you’ll be sending me, right? I mean, I’d hate to think you’d deny me an eternity behind your pearly gates just because o

4 High School Experiences Stars
I’ve seen T.Torrest around a bit and I never picked up one of her books. I finally saw Remember When 1 on audio and well you know I was all over that. It really is the best way to experience books (in my opinion).
Remember When 1 is part of trilogy. Remember When 1 is a full novel, so don’t think it is a mini book. The ending will leave you satisfied, so don’t think it’s an epic cliffy.

Oh....I don't even know where to begin...This book was just so freaking cute!
As a child of the 80's I cracked up at many of the old sayings because yes I have called someone cuckoo-for-cocoa puffs.
The story follows Layla Warren who recounting her senior year of high school. It starts off with her going to school and in walks new boy, Terrance C. Wilmington the third, who sits behind her in Ms. Mason's class. They become instant best friends.

A light-hearted quick read that took me right back to high school and that whole first crush/first love feeling! Of course, my high school crush didn't grow up to be the next Brad Pitt, but I digress.
This book had me smiling, swooning and chucking to myself from the first chapter. There were a few moments so that were so funny that when I tried t ...more

Remember When is a walk down memory lane for those who were teens in the late 80's early 90's. Back before cell phones, facebook and goodreads.
Layla has a crush on the new boy in town, Trip. He ends up sitting directly behind her in class and she immediately sets her sights on him.
If you are looking for a sweet romantic comedy than this book is for you.

6 "First Love is Forever" stars!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORED this sweet, nostalgic, heart-warming introduction to Layla and Trip's love story. In fact, I loved it so much that I am currently an incoherent heap of melted mess trying to write a "mind ramble" about Torrest's exquisite tale of young love.
The story begins with the present-day, adult Layla taking a trip down memory lane,back to 1991 when she first met and fell in love with Trip Wilmington.

I can't describe how great this book is and my review could never do it justice.
Remember When is set in 1990 - 1991 and tells the tale of Layla and Trip's senior year in high school and how they become fast friends before spending a wonderful last summer together before going their separate ways.
I loved all the 90's references which reminded me of my teenage years but most of all I loved how the author really made you feel like you were right there in the story, in New Jersey. There were so many ...more

Exactly my type of book. But...I was expecting a completely different ending to what the blurb said.
Layla has a crush on the new boy, Trip. The book spans over the whole senior years of high school and I found it very relatable and realistic. It is a sweet book and the ending awwww!!!!

What a great story. Really took me back in time...which was fun. Brought back a lot of memories of my time in high school. I really fell in love with Trip and Layla and their story.
I was a little worried at first. It's very descriptive writing so it didn't read really quick and I was afraid it was going to drag a bit. But the more I got in to the story the more I was hooked.

4 "Took you long enough to get here." Stars
There are those books we read to feel light and happy. You know the ones - they make us laugh and just feel really good while reminding us of a care free times in our lives when crushes on boys, high school parties, and the significance of our popularity were our biggest concerns. Well, Remember When hails as this kind of book. And coming off of a highly emotional, dark read Trip Wilmington and Layla Warren were just what I needed.

Jeez Louise! I can't believe I've had this book downloaded on my Kindle for months and have pushed it aside in favor of others. Today was just a supercalifragilistic day of reading! T. Torrest has given readers a meticulously well-crafted story from beginning to end. Hold on though - there's a bit of a cliffhanger. You won't have to wait long because the second installment should be released on June 20, 2013. Thanks goodness because I don't think I could wait much longer. I'm counting on it be

This is one of those books that reminds me of why I love to read YA. It’s sweet and funny, with lots of hilarious teenage insights as our characters navigate their way through new feelings and experiences. It also has a great sense of nostalgia and a beautiful story of first love that had me grinning like a fool the whole time I was reading.

GITTE: There are so many things I loved about this sweet and funny book. The writing was flawless, the story was addictive; I cried, I laughed out loud and I swooned. I also really connected with all the characters and felt so very nostalgic as the 90s time frame it was set in and the clothes, music and movies all sparked memories for me as I was about *cough* 16 back then…This is one of those books you’ll want to just read cover to cover and pause life until you are done.

This is a book for everyone who grew up in the 80's and even if you didn't, you will still enjoy this book. Set in New Jersey in 1990/1991 it is told in the POV of Layla who is in her senior year, and has a crush on new boy Trip.

I know many have read this already and I feel like I wasted so many precious time reading some other crappy books when the one simple book that'd 100% get to me has just been on my kindle all along. Maybe, I haven't read that many yet but I could say that this is not one of the best books I've ever read but rather the best so far. I'd like to start off about what this book's all about but I feel like it'd just sound common or cliché and for me; it wouldn't do any justice on how amazing this book
