If you’re headed to your high school reunion and wish life was a John Hughes movie, have we got a book for you. Favorite Satellite Sister guest Jancee Dunn turns her considerable writing skills, honed at Rolling Stone and in her own memoir But Enough About Me, to fiction. Her heroine is headed back to her high school reunion and to living with her parents in her Jersey hometown, fresh off a bad marriage. Filled with great 80s references and pop culture details, Dunn nails the emotions of the reunion mentality: nerves about seeing the high school flame; guilt about the friends you left behind as you headed to the popular crowd; anxiety over seeing “your gang” after 20 years and 20 pounds. Funny and fast paced but very touching .

This juicy book is loaded with fascinating stories of three women who helped a generation through good times and bad just by singing their beautiful and heartfelt songs with lyrics that resonated with all of us.
