Hello! I am looking for a YA/teen romance book that I read in the late eighties, and possibly very early nineties, so 1987 to 1991, at a push 92. I don’t remember the title, or the characters names, or the author. So annoying, sorry!
So, a girl (child of a single parent?) wants to do a job she’s worried her parent won’t like? Journalist, or scientist? God knows why it was a problem but it was the eighties I guess. She meets a Greek? boy who works for his families deli. I remember this because living in the south of England, I had never heard of a deli
He has a passion for sci fi comics but also wants a career that will upset his family as they assume he will work in the deli his whole life.
I remember she wears a raspberry hat or jumper, or something and I thought it was a bit of a fancy colour, not red, but not pink either. Raspberry. Who knew?
