Jancee Dunn won fans and hearts with her sparkling memoir But Enough about Me, detailing her transition from small-town 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 thirty-something high-power 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 she'd left behind, including her high-school boyfriend.… (meer)

This book had an interesting story but it was very hard for me to like the main character- maybe it's because she was still acting like a high schooler at 38 which made it completely unbelievable for me. If she had of been younger ( say 25 or younger), maybe I would have liked her more or at least been able to see her POV. As a 38 year old women still treating people like that and acting like is just- hard for me to believe. I did like the other characters VI, her parents and her sister Ginny who was definitely a voice of reason as well as the flashbacks.

The last 50 or so pages were the best part of the book. ( )

Sloooooowww. I was curious about the returning to the reunion part but I wasn't thrilled with the way the story evolved---just seemed to take way too long to get anywhere. I probably would have stopped before finishing but I was listening to the audio and working on something else so I continued. ( )

Lillian comes back home to go to her high school reunion and to come to terms with her recent divorce. She moves back home with her parents and learns a lesson or two on life and love and the importance of them both. Even though her heart has been broken, Lillian finds a way to cope by learning more about her past.

Being a girl who loves music and pop culture, I loved this book. The main character was realistic and believable and someone who I can relate to. The story was more fun to read than anything else, and doesn't really focus on intense emotions which I would have liked to have seen more of. Some of the story was pretty predictable, but this is Dunn's first novel

I would love for Jancee Dunn to write more fiction. ( )

I love Jancee Dunn! I read her biography & moved on to this (drawn in inexorably by the '80s song title on the cover--& the tape). I found myself totally into this book, recognizing not just '80s references but also the characters & the high school drama situations. Jancee Dunn really got my adolescence & it was great to find a book for thirtysomethings who are not either married & settled or glamazons on the make in the fashion world. ( )

I thought this was a cute and fun book. It was timely for me since I also recently attended my 20 year reunion. It did a great job sprinkling in nostalgia from the 80's. ( )
