I came to realize that Davie really was like me in so many ways. But you know what? I absolutely loved this book, and I completely mean it when I say I COULD NOT put it down. I’m a middle class, white girl from New York with two of the best parents in the world. She’s a poor, black Southern girl with an abusive mother. My Thoughts: Ya know, foolishly and unnecessarily, I wasn’t sure about this book. Their relationship is passionate and wonderful, until Davie’s past comes back to haunt her, with the threat of destroying the new life she’s created for herself, especially the love she and James share. Everything is different for Davie now – until she runs into James again, years later, and he falls desperately in love with her, not remembering or recognizing her at all. ![]() There, she reinvents herself into a cool and successful lounge singer at a ritzy nightclub. But one thing gives her hope: Sixteen Candles, and her dream that one day, she too will have her very own “Molly Ringwald Ending.” She clings to this hope until a cruel joke pushes her to the edge, and she runs away to L.A. She’s teased relentlessly at school, given the nickname, Monkey Night, and desperately in love with the handsome, popular, and rich, James Farrell who doesn’t know she exists. ![]() ![]() On top of that, she’s poor, and living with her abusive single mother in Mississippi. ![]()
