A trip down memory lane. I used to read this book over and over two decades ago. I’m not sure wether I would recommend it to a teenager today or not, some passages are problematic (diet-related for instance) BUT it was like being 13 again. And that part was fun.
I am dying!!!!!!!!!! I read this book probably a thousand times when I was younger and have never forgotten the story premise. I mean, how could I not when I have read so many times?? But I just found it again and read it for the first time in 35? 40 years??? DYING.
I’m realizing this is where I probably learned about Connecticut and that it’s just a train ride away from NYC.
I love how 80’s this is — talks about the new wave fashion.
And um can we talk for a minute about the fat shaming in the 80’s?!? No wonder us Gen Xers have body issues. WTH?! 🤦♀️
But overall this was such a fun blast from the past. I love re reading books from my youth that I read multiple times and loved. It feels like forever ago and yet it also doesn’t.
I can’t recommend this book to everyone but I’m def giving it 5 stars since it was a favorite of mine years ago.
Thriftbooks.com for the win!!!! And a huge shoutout to the Facebook group, Vintage Children’s Books, for helping me remember the title to this. I feel like I hit the jackpot with this one!!!
Btw I read this book in like 2 hrs on a plane. Lol!
A young girl pretending to be her rock star twin sister. Not sure how the teachers don’t notice a ‘different’ student or even her friends but anyway. You just cringe the whole way through because you know the secret will come out. A bit drawn out.
