Deep Dive into Red Camaro Summer 1987

*SPOILER ALERT* Don't listen unless you are past the chapter "Free Fall."  This week the Deep Dive Team explores the theme of what is "safe" in the novel Red Camaro Summer 1987 written by Brad Stokes.

In this episode, the author Brad Stokes takes us on a road trip to all the locations in his debut novel Red Camaro Summer 1987.

In this premiere episode, we take a full-throttle ride through the heart of Red Camaro Summer (1987)—a nostalgic, emotionally charged coming-of-age romance that transports readers straight back to the late '80s. We explore the story of Bryce and Shan, two teenagers tangled in first love, longing, and the bittersweet weight of growing up. With a soundtrack of mixtapes and beach nights, the novel captures the raw, unfiltered truth of being young: the awkward moments, the unspoken feelings, and the quiet heartbreaks that shape us.
