IR VERDICT:
PENNY HARPER is a thinly disguised memoir that dissects the summer when Jack and Penny turned 16, fell in love – and broke up. The story skips between present and past in an almost seamless manner and the 20-year span allows for some soul searching, and quite a few questions as Penny re-appears to search for Jack. Can an old love find a new friendship? Answers will intrigue those still in the throes of teenage remembrances.
