I don't think anything could induce me to want to go back to high school, but you remind me of that intensity in living that seems to mellow out quite a bit as I've gotten older. I miss that part!

Every now and then, I feel a need for this kind of book. I go to the new shelves at the library, and pick up the books that are chartreuse green and/or pink. Never fails! Easy fun. I, too, suffer from creaky bone syndrome, but there is nothing like a book for time travel, is there!? I enjoyed your reviews! Every now and then, I feel a need for this kind of book.

Both sound fun and entertaining! I suspect that I'd be sympathizing with the mom, too! How fun to step back in chronology, remembering the teen life but not having to live it anymore for real!

I recently read TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer. Like DEDICATION did to you, TWILIGHT took me back to the boy-razy times of my high school years. I attended four homecoming dances and four Prom's with a slew of different boys. Some were more as friends but some stole my heart and even broke it. I would never trade any of the expereinces I had for anything and I treasure each broken heart, breath taking crush and all the kisses I shared with those boys. It's a wonderful thing when books have the power to take us back in time and jar memories that we may not have dwelled on in ages.

I really enjoyed The Nanny Diaries (although horrified by the life depicted therein) and will add this to my TBR list! Thanks for the Dedication recommendation.

I have a 15-year-old daughter and the same books I might have read as at 15 and loved, are read from a completely different angle now (Cathcher in the Rye is a brilliant example of that!). Both books sound like fun reads. I totally understand about sympathizing more with the parent than the teen “hero”.
