Another book by James Patterson's JIMMY publication company, this was written as a letter to the main character's (Jacky) daughters, flashbacking to the 1990s when she made a HUGE mistake. That hook certainly is intriguing and keeps the reader engaged. I enjoyed the references to that decade, and the author does a good job of explaining all of the "antiques" of that period, like a wall-mounted phone and a boombox. The story focuses around Jacky at a young age during the summertime, planning on performing in a Shakespeare production with her friends and having fun working the boardwalk in New Jersey. It was an engaging read with great illustrations and a great message. There was a bit of 'tween puppy love and one kissing scene, but nothing more mature than that. (FIC PAT)
