This Full House by Virginia Euwer Wolff

4.0

3.75 stars really. This is the conclusion of the story that began when Verna LaVaughn agreed to babysit for Jolly. She's 17 now and has spent two summers at Science Camp and has decided that she will be a nurse...if she can get into college. She's still somewhat estranged from the childhood girlfriends and the boy she had a crush on. The big news is she's been accepted into a special program that helps underprivileged girls prepare for medical sciences in college. Meanwhile Jolly is working on her final classes for her GED and she has finally met a man who stay. I think this is the weakest of the trilogy, but it does wrap things up nicely while educating readers on poverty, teen pregnancy, fostering, etc. I read this for my 2017 Reading Challenge "read a book with a two word title" (Book Bingo).
