Although there are some 80s fashions I could do without, like the hair styles, which she also refers to in the book. They do say that all the old fashions come back in style again, and they must be right, because I bought my nieces matching pairs last summer. She mentioned some things that I haven’t thought about in years (yeah, Jolt cola and Burger Time – I’m talking to you!), and some things that are more recent, like Jellies. The musical references that occur in just about every single chapter literally played in my head. Her writing brings back an exquisite sense of nostalgia for me. Being a kid who is more comfortable around adults than kids your own age is a tough way to be. She makes numerous references to growing up chubby in the 80s, and it was such a trying experience to go through! I can recall the exact same things that she relays in her story, from being denied the same foods others were treated to, having well-meaning relatives or friends offering the newest diet plan or workout tapes, and every single person feeling the need to comment on it. While she is at least a few years older than I am, and has had a vastly different type of childhood than I did, there were so many points in her story that resonated on a deep level with my own. Angie Cavallari writes with a witty and ironic sense of humor that I truly appreciated.
