Synopsis

Jancee Dunn won fans and hearts with her sparkling memoir But Enough about Me, detailing her transition from smalltown square to hip journalist in the rocking 1980s. Now she channels her wit and humor into a story of the clash of cultures in the distinctive era in which she grew up. Lillian Curtis, a thirtysomething highpower New York City television producer, finds her past and present colliding when she moves back in with her parents after a devastating divorce. There, in her old room, time seems frozen in 1988, with a Rick Springfield tape still on her dresser and Duran Duran posters hanging on the wall. Now, after twenty years away, she is forced to confront not only her 80s nostalgia but also all the people she thought shed left behind, including her highschool boyfriend.

Ova knjiga je dugo i beznadežno stajala na mojoj polici. Pitala sam se zašto sam je uopšte i kupila. Međutim, kako sam u nekom contemporary i chick-lit raspoloženju, reših da joj ipak dam šansu. Tek nakon što sam je pročitala došla sam do saznanja da spisateljica Jancee Dunn ima prilično impozantnu b......more

From my Statesman review ([URL not allowed]) A 20-year reunion is coming up for Lily Curtis and, fresh off an unexpected divorce, she regresses to her teenage state: She lives at home with the folks, Rick Springfield's on the tape deck and she's crushing on her high school swee......more

Goodreads review by Monica on December 23, 2008

I completely dislike this book. It was an easy read, but I felt no connection with the main character and as the story went on, I liked her less and less. Perhaps the "lesson" of the book is to not live life as she did, to not make ignoarant, selfish, repeated mistakes, but I don't think that was th......more
