I don't know why it's taken me so long to read Julie's books, but here I am! I enjoyed the 70s vibes, and also appreciated its exploration of how hard divorce is on kids, while also providing a hopeful way to move forward. While it wasn't my favorite historical character book, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

~This book contains~
-Divorce as a prominent plot line
-Brief use of phrase "male chauvinist pig"

Really good book shows how the mind set for women was in 1974 and is really good

The story was good but I'm not a huge fan of turning the original books into the Beforever format. The first two stories fit pretty seamlessly together, but the last story didn't really fit. Most of the historical note is gone too. There are literally only two pages in this book about the historical time. It really only talked about Title IV, but didn't include the real people in situation like Julie's as the original books did. And all the holiday information that relate to the last story wasn't included.
