{"product_id":"9780998086408","title":"Livin' on a Prayer - The Untold Tommy \u0026 Gina Story","description":"Ah, the 80's anthem - \"Livin' on a Prayer\" by Bon Jovi - the story of Tommy and Gina: two kids fighting the odds as they just try to give it a shot.\u003cbr\u003eIn this story, however, Tommy doesn't work on a dock, and Gina doesn't work the diner all day. The thing is, every town has their own Tommy and Gina story. This one just happens to be a little more...unique. The seaside town of York, Maine is the backdrop to this tale, taking you from the 80s to the present day.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a Chicken Soup for the Soul type story. But, like soup, it contains many ingredients. Start with a ½ pot of Tommy - a Bon Jovi hairband-loving burnout. Add a ½ pot of Gina- a dressed-in-black, Cure-loving alterna-chick. Mix in plenty of 80's references then bring to a boil and stir. Add a splash of tragedy with a hint of that could never happen, could it? Sprinkle in a doctor who resembles Christopher Walken and who may or may not be in the mafia. Next, season with a little Mexican sidekick, a tablespoon of tenderness, a splash of a naughty Zumba instructor - at this point the mixture will stiffen. Finally, add three full cups of redemption, true love, and happily ever after! Garnish with yoga pants.\u003cbr\u003eIn all seriousness, this book is a super-silly comedy, but with a big heart, and although it might be slightly more appreciated if you're from the 80's, it's definitely not a requirement. It's a fun, easy read that will keep you smiling and laughing the whole way though.","brand":"Vacationland Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014259294448,"sku":"9780998086408","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780998086408_p0.jpg?v=1763946559","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780998086408","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
