Three Day Summer Sarvenaz Tash Books

I have to say right up front that this book was like my own personal time machine. As with Michael, the male protagonist, I had no clue what would happen when I heard about this awesome three day music festival in New York State. I was working on a highway crew, painting a draw bridge that spanned the Kennebec River when four of us bought tickets, cut work on a Thursday and headed for Woodstock.
Michael is piloting his mom's purple Chrysler, his bossy girlfriend Amanda and a couple friends with him. He's already ambivalent about his relationship, but hasn't had a chance to get it together and break things off. The closer they get to the festival, the more they begin realizing that this is way bigger than anyone ever imagined. The car overheats, so they abandon it in the middle of the road and hike the last five miles to Max Yazgur's farm.
Meanwhile Cora, who lives right near the festival site, entertains dreams of becoming a doctor. She's going to volunteer at the medical tent with a nurse she helps in her role as a candy striper. She's got a lot on her mind. Ned, the boy she gave her heart to, broke up with her a while ago, but works on her dad's farm, so he's never far from her thoughts. Wes, her younger brother is involved in the anti-war movement, while her older brother is in the military in Vietnam.
When Michael takes a hit of brown acid, he flips out and his friends bring him to the medical tent where Cora is assigned to monitor him while he comes down. Over the several hours it takes to get him close to clear-headed, something happens between them.
Cora is so busy she doesn't have time to ponder the effect Michael had on her at first. Michael, on the other hand, is feeling a surreal connection because of the way he saw her while tripping. Besides, he's lost his friends (as did I) and despite his best efforts, can't find them in the huge crowd. He returns to the medical tent at seven, the time Cora gets off duty and invites her to stay and listen to some of the music with him. She's about to say no when her ex-wanders up, asking if she's ready to head home.
Cora's no becomes a yes, becoming the beginning of behavior that's completely out of character for her, as well as a relationship with a guy who already has a girlfriend and lives a couple hundred miles away. Add in her father's going ballistic attitude toward the concertgoers, Michael's incredible knowledge of most of the bands playing, completely 'you are there' vignettes from the event and you have a super story about two likable teens at the biggest concert ever.
I loved this book, not only because of the chemistry between the two main characters, but because on almost every page, something happened that took me back to the moment it was capturing. I heartily agree with the reviewer who said that the author brought the festival to life. She absolutely nailed it as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to see this book in as many public and school libraries as possible because it brings to life an event that most teens know nothing about.

Three Day Summer Sarvenaz Tash Books Reviews

A captivating and interesting book. A true and beautiful love story! Loved It I recommend for any young adult or teen
I really liked this book. I would have given it five stars if not for the abrupt ending. It was like being immersed in a great concert or movie and then the lights coming on. Overall, the book was good and given my obsession with all things Woodstock, I really enjoyed. I recommend this read wholeheartedly.
This was a fabulous summer read. Having been born in 1970, I've always heard so much--good and bad--about Woodstock. THREE DAY SUMMER brought the whole experience to life for me and I LOVED it.
What can I say about this story. It's as beautiful as the cover. I was transported and felt like I was actually there at the festival. It's cute and sweet.

There was some drug use, innuendo, profanity. If it was made into a movie it would probably be rated PG-13.
Sarvenaz Tash - I have now read all of your books. Don't ever doubt that you have "it" - the true writer's talent. The kind of talent that allows readers to be pulled in, envision the story and get lost in it. My favorite kind of writing. The kind of writing that bookworms love. That kind of writer is rare. Keep writing and I'll keep reading what you write. <3
Hardcover (edit)
Review I zipped through this in a few hours, and honestly didn't want to be at the end of the book when I got there. I've never really had much of an affection for Woodstock (while many of my favorite bands played the festival, my natural aversion to crowds and being-away-from-showers has always made me think that I would've had a miserable time there, which also explains why I don't go to music festivals today) but Three Day Summer has made me reconsider those feelings.
Tash does a great job of making the weekend seem like the magical event that it's always been heralded as, even with the mud and the freaked-out hippies and the mud and the bad drugs and also the mud. Having both of the main characters narrate the book is a great way to tell the story - it gives us the points of view of both those that lived near the site of the concert (with a peek at how it affected them) along with those who traveled from other locations. Also, I've totally got a crush on Cora.
Is that weird?
This story’s mood perfectly matches its vibrant, feel-good cover. It’s hard to put into words what I love so much about this historical novel. It just made me all sorts of happy. Its setting is one of the greatest ever Woodstock. Its pace is quick and engaging. It’s dual-POV main characters, Cora and Michael, are incredibly likable — even the one who cheats. Its voice is light and fresh, and not just when exploring bands and skinny-dipping and bad acid trips, but also when discussing the more serious issues of the time, like the draft and the conflict in Vietnam. And its romance, though quickly intense, is genuine and charming and really sexy. Three Day Summer made me sorely regret not being present (not to mention alive) for Woodstock, but the spirit of the festival is so perfectly captured in this story, I wonder if maybe I haven’t completely missed out after all.
