The Mall by Megan McCafferty

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This simple book is going to become one of my "comfort" reads -I kid you not! As a matter of fact, as soon as this book hits the shelves, it is going to become part of my library! What a freakin' fantastic walk down memory lane this was for me./ I loved every minute of it.

This book is geared toward YA as a historical (I think), but it is perfect for anyone who became a teen in the late 80's early 90's. Or even better, for older adults looking for the ideal quick break and a walk into the past.

This book, while humorous for the most part, does hit on some sensitive issues (divorce, friendships, virginity, and self-actualization).

SYNOPSIS: "New York Times bestselling author Megan McCafferty returns to her roots with this YA coming of age story set in a New Jersey mall.
The year is 1991. Scrunchies, mixtapes and 90210 are, like, totally fresh. Cassie Worthy is psyched to spend the summer after graduation working at the Parkway Center Mall. In six weeks, she and her boyfriend head off to college in NYC to fulfill The Plan: higher education and happily ever after.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans...
Set entirely in a classic “monument to consumerism,” the novel follows Cassie as she finds friendship, love, and ultimately herself, in the most unexpected of places. Megan McCafferty, beloved New York Times bestselling author of the Jessica Darling series, takes readers on an epic trip back in time to The Mall."
