Read in April, 2008
I can't remember the last time (if ever) I read a book in one day. But this was a super quick and easy read... just a bit of brain candy. The premise was made for fun - one night in 2006, 17 year old wild-child Shay passes out in a Jacuzzi and wakes up in 1978. What ensues, including plenty of culture shock moments, is funny and sweet... and worth a read.

I was on memory road while reading this book.
Garfinkle has nailed the seventies. Since I was in college and high school at the time, I remembered many of the references that were mentioned. I was also blown away about how many things that I take for granted were not around then. For today's teens, though, this book is great!

It's a funny book about a materialistic, promiscuous girl time warped all the way to 1978. Think Paris Hilton forced to live with a slightly dysfunctional Brady Bunch.

Story of an 18 year old high school girl who falls asleep in her boyfriend's bathtub in 2006 and wakes up in someone else's bathtub in 1978.
The book has an interesting premise, but left me disappointed at the end. It's a lot of fun revisiting some of the 70's culture, but the story is not that spellbinding.

Groovy! I still don't quite understand the time-travel mechanism used here, but the characters and overall storyline make it seem unimportant. A cute read.

There should be a law against this much funny. Seriously! Very good. Wish it was longer.
