Claudia asked this question about That Summer:
Did anyone notice a minor inconsistency: There are few references to the Emlen boys being class of 1987, and age-wise it checks out with their being 51 in 2019. But, then there are passages about reunions happening in 1990 and 1995, which would suggest a grad year of 1985, not 1987. Did I miss something or is it editor/author error?
Karen I found one, too. On page 11, Diana says she is going into 10th grade, but on page 407, she tells Daisy that it was the summer after her sophomore yea…moreI found one, too. On page 11, Diana says she is going into 10th grade, but on page 407, she tells Daisy that it was the summer after her sophomore year. Feels like editing errors, right?(less)
