Class of '98 door A. L. Player
Class of '98 was a fun book about two people who see each other at their high school reunion and then are thrown back in time to high school. I loved the author's take on what it would be like to be a teenager again and already knowing how things will turn out. The writing was good, but I wasn't satisfied with the ending.
After being turned down for a promotion to become partner at her firm, the last thing Jackie Dunn wanted to do was attend her ten year class reunion and go down memory lane. But at her mom’s urging, she goes back to her home town of Eliot, SC to Birdsey High School — Home of the Knights. There were only two people she didn’t want to see – her former boyfriend, Shane Noonan, and her former best friend, Alison David. From the online information, it didn’t look like they would be there.
She makes light conversation with Matt Stewart. They’d been in the same class since second grade but didn’t hang out in the same groups. He’d been a jock and had married his high school sweetheart, Christy Gordon. The marriage didn’t last. They’d been discussing what they would do differently. Jackie says, “Are you kidding? I’d do it all differently. All of it.” A storm moves in quickly out of nowhere. They try to get back inside. He yanks on the door and “a blast of white light shot out at them …” Now they’ve been pulled from 2008 to 1998 and need to repeat senior year. They decide not to make any changes – it may have major repercussions on the future. He’s a jock again with Christy as his girlfriend … and she’s still a nag. Jackie has her blue hair, Shane is her boyfriend, and Alison is her best friend. But if they keep things the same, they are going to experience the same heartbreaks. After all, what are second chances for?
This was a fun and interesting concept, even though the theme has been done — written about and movies made about it before. Jackie and Matt didn’t realize how much they actually had in common until they were forced to repeat their past. The book is about romance, but it is a clean romance – nothing explicit. The characterization is wonderfully done. I could envision every scene very plainly. Even though they did change a few things in the past, nothing seemed to have changed dramatically once they returned to 2008. It now becomes a matter of what will they do with their future? I rated Class of ’98 at 4 out of 5.… (meer)
