Born in the 1980s tells the story of a generation coming of age. As the reality of the adult world begins to bite, love and lust, broken dreams, heartbreak, and emotional attachments take the place of teenage hopes. This is about a generation finding its feet and carving out its place in the world. Born in the 1980s is a title in the Route series of contemporary stories. ""It definitely captures the spirit of a generation up and coming."" Bloomsbury Review
