For anyone who has ever endured the insufferable pain, the soaring
excitement, and the relentless shame of adolescence, critically
acclaimed author Jennifer Niven shares her own hilarious and
touching tales of teenage life at a Midwestern high school in the
1980s.
If you had found Jennifer Niven in the looming halls of
Richmond, Indiana's lone high school in 1985, she would have had
enormous hair and been wearing her favorite yellow Esprit shirt.
She would have been flirting with Tommy Wissel, and passing notes
to her best friend Joey about whether Dean Waldemar was going to
ask her to the dance. And her last name would have been McJunkin,
because Niven is the pen name she planned to use whenever she
"finally" graduated and became a famous writer/actress in some big
city far, far away from farms, tractors, mullets, and food
festivals.
In her entertaining and heartfelt memoir, Jennifer takes readers
back to that thrilling, excruciating, amazing, unnerving, awkward,
and unforgettable time -- high school -- when life's greatest
problems revolved around saying and doing the right thing,
wrestling with geometric theorems, fretting over a bad hair day,
waiting for the weekend's parties, trying not to die of boredom,
and dying to be noticed by the most popular boy in school. It was a
time of feeling fearless and invincible, with miles of firsts still
to come.
From meeting her best friend for life in Mr. Foos's first-period
geometry class to partying one last time before college -- when not
just the cool kids but the hoods, the geeks, and the normal kids
gathered together to say good-bye -- Jennifer shares the funny,
poignant, and silly stories of a simpler time and place.
Irresistibly charming and utterly true, "The Aqua Net Diaries" is
one girl's unique yet undeniably universal survival story of the
best years of her life.
