review 1: I normally read an author’s work before jumping into an autobiography about them, but since I saw over 20 copies of Jacqueline Wilson’s books get checked out over a three day period in my new library, I figured that I’d appreciate a glimpse at the author’s life before reading a few of her books. So far, I’m enjoying the book- Only from her life when she was 14 though.I admit it, I slogged through this book. I think I might have found a little too much of my own childhood connections within the pages… where you’re a little too ignorant and boy crazy to pay attention to the more important things around you. This was quite the honest story and I really appreciated the glimpse back at life in 1960 in England. It was a fascinating book and portions of it made me l... moreaugh loudly. Others made me wince, especially Jacqueline Wilson’s experiences with teachers at her school. This is much more of a high school book vs. elementary. There were various scenes that made me wonder if it should be pulled and put into the professional collection. Still reflecting on that…
review 2: I read this book because I'm a big fan of Jacqueline Wilson writings; and decided to buy this since I would love to know her personal life more, what she was like when was a teenager. And this book turned out just okay for me. There are times that I just want to put it on shelf and continue reading like a week later, because the story was not more interesting than her usual children books. But if we consider this as a diary/journal not a story book yet it actually is, Jacq's life was pretty incredible back to nowadays. The best thing in this book for me would be the knowledge I got about 60's teenager lifestyle & stuff from this book. However, if you're a fan you'll enjoy reading this.Jacq pulled this book as best as she can to be interesting to read. Well, she nailed it. The book is as hilarious as the title 'Dating,Dancing,Dreams, and Dilemmas' :)p.s. its my first review!sorry for bad and boring writing haha less
