The year 1990 was pivotal in UK popular culture, and in our social and political history.
Gazza's tears at the World Cup as England reached the semi-finals, the Poll tax riots and the end of Margaret Thatcher's time as Prime Minister, and the height of Acid House music are all firmly etched in the memories of teenagers of the time.
One of them was author and journalist Jamie Jackson, whose new book captures the thrill of partying until dawn during 'the Second Summer of Love'.
Jamie, 53, grew up in Lancaster, going to Scotforth Primary and Lancaster Royal Grammar School, before moving to Morecambe High School Sixth Form. He is now the Manchester football correspondent for the national Guardian newspaper.
During his teenage years, he'd set off each weekend on an adventure - joining hundreds of fellow pleasure-seekers as he danced all night and into the morning to the rave music he loved.
And now, he's written a novel about it, set in the Lancaster and Morecambe area and referencing some of the local clubs, landmarks and places he remembers as a teen.

"I wanted to write a story set in Lancaster and Morecambe; the place is so beautiful and I have a lot of vivid memories there," said Jamie.
"I call it the Las Vegas of the North, it was so vibrant to me, at the time.
"This story takes place in the late '80s, 1990, a very interesting time in our nation culturally - the biggest cultural explosion since the '60s, I would argue."
The plot of 'Adventures in LovE' centres around a local DJ, Nancy Kools, and Joey Miller.
They are both teenagers, high, in love, and with zero to lose.
Dance music is a seismic happening hitting the UK, drawing countless kids to illegal all-night warehouse parties.
As the sun bakes down on factories and fields, they dance to the sound of the Second Summer of Love, during a time when the raves had been driven underground by the Government.
Nancy and Joey come up with a plan to steal Ecstasy pills then flee to Ibiza to live off the profits. But they're not the only ones, as trouble is around the corner...
As a teenager, Jamie spent his weekends at warehouse raves.
This was a time when the government had banned them through the Entertainment (Increased Penalties) Act, due to concerns over anti-social behaviour and drug use.
"All the people doing these warehouse parties were (doing was) creating a buzz and a bit of culture, and it was frowned upon," he said.
"But it was a very, very exciting time. The sheer excitement of getting inside the warehouse, and it would be somewhere different every week.
"People say to me, the book reminds them of their youth."
The story takes influence from a notorious illegal rave in Gildersome, next to Leeds, in July 1990. Jamie was there.
"It became a bit of a cause celebre," he said.
"Everyone in there was arrested, 836 people. At the time, it was billed as the biggest mass arrest in British history.
"The police came in at around 5am or 6am, I'd never seen so many police vans or cars.
"I was taken to a police station in Pudsey. Two or three months later, (I) got a letter saying no charges would be brought.
"So the book uses that, and it's a fictionalised account of what I'm talking about."
'Adventures in LovE' has been getting...well...rave reviews, with The Observer saying "Jackson conveys the sheer thrill of partying beautifully".
"It's called 'Adventures in LovE because it's all about having an adventure," he said.
"It's about love, a love story, the love of the time, and the love of the town. The love of Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Galgate.
"It's the perfect title because it's all about...wow, you're that age and here is life rushing at you. Or you're rushing at life."
'Adventures in LovE' is available through online book outlets, Waterstones in Lancaster and other book stores.
