Reviews
"Full of wit, charm, hilarious one-liners and clever digressions, Peter Harmon's Happenstances plays in a landscape of Americana reminiscent of John Hughes, but with tongue planted in cheek, pokes fun at familiar tropes and archetypical comedic characters while at the same time valuing all the elements enough to deliver a fresh and enjoyable summer read. Poppy - and full of pop-culture references that'll have Millennials giggling out loud and sharing the text with their friends - Happenstances doesn't take itself too seriously while still respecting its readers, resulting in the perfect poolside read (and not only because it takes place at a pool!)" - Jason Stefaniak, award winning filmmaker "A sheer wave of nostalgia hits me in Peter Harmon's book. I am filled with both laughter and tears. Based on our childhood community pool, I am reminded of the pure joy of being a kid and figuring it out. Our pool was an idealistic dream for the American kid. The place where we had our first jobs, our first kiss and most likely our first sloppy joe. It was just happenstance that I happened to be there, and I would not change that experience for the world. Thank you Peter for taking me back to the good ole days! This is a book that I recommend to anyone looking for an endearing summer read." - Gabrielle Christian, actress/ activist "Forget what you think you know about the perfect summer break and allow yourself to high-dive into the heartbreak, exhilaration, and sheer madness that's waiting for you at the YCCSRC. Peter Harmon's charming storytelling will make you believe for the first time in your life that the jerk, babe, nerd and outcast can actually come together to fight in the name of justice -- and, even more surprisingly, make you catch your breath when you realize they might possibly stand a chance." - Jamie Petitto, writer and YouTube personality at Gurl.com "The Happenstances... has a ton of hilarious fun and underdog spirit. You'd be a fool not to add it to your summer reading list!" - Barbra Dillon, Fanboy Comics Managing Editor
