Fred & June's Books of Mooresville welcomes author Mandy Casto as she shares her debut romance, Retreat to Bleecker Street, is the ultimate coming-of-age love story that will transport you back in time...to a time when everyone was drinking caramel frappes, your social life hinged on AIM and not Insta, you were either 'Team Dawson' or 'Team Pacey', your closet was full of babydoll tank tops and low rise jeans, and your flip phone was considered a fashion accessory. Meet 20-year-old Melissa Rizzi. Melissa's love story unfolds when she reunites with her long-distance high school boyfriend, Theo, for the holidays. Instead of welcoming her into his open arms, however, he blindsides her with an abrupt decision to break up! To mend her shattered heart, she travels across the country to spend New Years Eve in NYC with her three BFFs. While trying to forget her ex in the Big Apple, Melissa unexpectedly runs into Chris, the first boy she fell head over heels for many summers ago on Jade Island. A flame is rekindled, leading Melissa to the most romantic back-to-back nights of her life. Melissa has Chris on her mind when she goes home, only to find a regretful Theo begging her for a second chance. She is faced with a major decision: Does she accept Theo's apology or take a chance on Chris, thousands of miles away?
