Campbelltown George Kennett

For as long as he can remember, intelligent and likeable, but average-looking Pete Campbell has had a thing for Jane Dwyer. And, for the longest time his dream girl has been taken. Jane is beautiful, smart, sporty, and has a lovely disposition. Why wouldn't she be in a long-term relationship? For Pete, no other girl can compare to Jane, so he enters into relationships seeing his partners as consolation prizes. Shading his hapless love-life are the romantic adventures of his two handsome and popular best friends. Confident and sporty James Harrison and Shane Henry, who just happens to look a lot like a teen heartthrob, seem to constantly be in relationships with their Miss Right or Miss Right Now. As told by Pete, we follow the lives of this trio of friends growing up in the southwestern suburbs of Sydney during the seventies and eighties, a simpler time in Australia. Over a span of sixteen years, they graduate from being dopey, hormone-driven teens to responsible adults understanding the concepts of love and emotional commitment.
