Nadine Keels Hello, folks!

The faces of three, smiling young women of color above chocolate malts, a jukebox, a chocolate-brown heart, and a box of popcorn with two vintage movie tickets

I'm looking for readers who'd like to review my historical fiction novella for the young and young at heart, Vicky's Victory. It's 128 pages and will especially appeal to fans of WWII and postwar fiction, and sweet romance.

You must be able to use an EPUB ebook file. (No paperback or audiobook review copies available.) Once you receive the book, a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads within two to three weeks would be quite helpful and much appreciated! Reply to this post if you're interested.

About the book:

Young lives. First loves. And a classic American period enlivened by jukeboxes and chocolate malts.

Vicky, a bookish sixteen-year-old, wouldn’t call herself popular. But around her thriving Black community of West Hill, and especially at school, she’s pretty well-known: as “The Brain of West Hill High.” In addition to keeping her grades up this year, she’s looking to make an impact writing for the school newspaper. A step toward her goal of becoming a journalist one day.

On a different note, Vicky is ready to get a new, real taste of romance. She dreams of spending time with an interesting guy who’ll be a match for her head as well as her heart. A guy who’ll applaud her career ambitions.

But finding someone like that might be too much to hope for in high school. Maybe?

Come along on a memorable milestone journey—here in this nostalgic nod to the bygone era of “malt shop” books.
