Headline Review

review 1: I must say that this isn't a book I'd've picked up from choice, and some of you who read the stuff I usually read would probably hate it - but it actually wasn't at all bad. If you were a teenager in the 80s you'll find loads to identify with, particularly if you had an unrequited teenage passion for a star, and even more particularly if that star was a footballer. Things go a little haywire (and seedy) in the teenage story when fantasy becomes harsh reality, but the book's written in an entertaining style and the adult story carried the book through for me. Don't be put off by the Amazon blurb if you're a chicklit fan - the book's actually much better than that, and has quite a dark edge at times...
review 2: I would probably give this one 3 1/2 stars. It pick... moreed up pace towards the end and was quite enjoyable. I might look out for others by the author. It flicks between the 15 year old Claire and the present day Claire who is a lawyer. At 15 she had a crush on a local football player. She also wrote a 'dream list' of what her life would be like when she was 20 years older. She finds the list and it makes her take stock of her current life and revisits points from her childhood. less
