I was very
hesitant to begin reading Just 18
Summers, as I was not really wanting to get very emotional. However, this book surprised me in many
ways. Is it poignant? Yes.
Did it make me cry? Yes, but not
in the way you may think. I was actually
crying because I was laughing so very hard.
I enjoyed how the authors took these four families and helped us get
inside the parents’ heads and see what was going on and to do it in a way that
so mirrors life. I laughed, cried, and
cringed with them. And yes, I cried a
bit due to the poignancy and the lessons that were either reiterated to me or
those that I learned. Reading this book
was like watching a sitcom with substance. I even had to read many parts out loud to my
daughter and husband. This is going on
the list of my top 10 books that I have read this year and I cannot think of
another book that had me laughing in hysterics like this one did. I recommend this book to all parents. It was a very satisfying read. I received this book from The Book Club
Network, Inc. (TBCN) and the opinions are my own.
