32 Candles--Book Review

When Davie, an ugly duckling growing up in small-town Mississippi, sees John Hughes’s Sixteen Candles, it changes her life forever. Determined to reinvent herself, Davie runs away to Los Angeles and becomes a beautiful, successful lounge singer. And then James Farrell walks into her club. Rich, still gorgeous, and yes, driving a Porsche, James is the perfect costar for Davie’s fantasies. To her astonishment, James doesn’t recognize her from the old days, and Davie can’t bring herself to tell him the truth. Instead she lets him fall as deeply in love with her as she once was with him. But before they can ride off into the sunset, Veronica, James’s sister, arrives and recognizes Davie—threatening to disclose every secret of her dark past. Ernessa T. Carter’s refreshing, smart, and romantic 32 Candles introduces an underdog readers will root for until the unexpected end.( goodreads.com)

I loved 16 candles the movie with Molly Ringwald and all those crazy cast of characters. This book has 4 parts and how they are named is cute too of THEN, NOW, In between , and Now.

Davie was really shy in high school and know some town secrets but once she got embarrassed enough that she left town. She was found by a trucker and she was able to get a job . Davie was always following her first crush by Internet or sabotaging his relationships.

Davie finds voice and does her best to move on from her past life in a small town in Mississippi. She changes her name and furthers her education. She is smart and feisty character who has always been in love with James.

This is a cute chick lit and it treated the reader as smart and that they knew about all of Molly Ringwalds movies from Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles.

I love the romance and and the writing by this author.
