ROSALIND NOONAN grew up in suburban Maryland and enjoyed being part of a large family. "With my four siblings, Saturday mornings were a blast," she says. "There was festival seating on the living room floor as we devoured cartoons and passed the Sugar Pops."
She caught the writing bug in second grade when she won first place in a poetry contest. "The prize was twenty dollars," she recalls. "That was big bucks for a second grader. I thought I was going to Disneyland." Wooed by the taste of fame and fortune, she kept writing.
After attending Wagner College in Staten Island, she remained in New York City where she worked as an editor for various book publishers. Noonan currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, a retired cop from the NYPD, and two children. Although she sometimes misses the rapid pulse of New York, she enjoys writing in the shade of towering two-hundred year old Douglas fir trees.
The Turning Seventeen series follows 4 best friends Kerri, Jessica, Maya, and Erin as they deal with all the fun, adventures, difficulties, and dramas of their senior year. Book 4 is from Erin's point of view. Erin struggles with relating to her mom who can't seem to understand her need to stand out. She also struggles to figure out what is going on with her and her long distance boyfriend while wrestling with new information about her next door neighbor and best friend.
I continue to love this series! Super cute quick read. The girls seem real and average and it fills me with nostalgia for high school days and drama that I never had. Love these 4 ladies and am definitely excited to finish the series and see where else senior year takes them.
