My father was a very talented soccer player back in his day and loved the

T.C Boyle’s short story‚ The Love of my Life‚ mocks the idealization and seemingly invincibility of teenage love. Boyle uses pop culture as an avenue to show the distortedness of upper-class teenagers’ view on the American Dream.
