Carole Hart (2) (1943–2018)

Although this book was written a long time after the second one, it needed to be written to "put a finish" on the series. I loved this series growing up and I was glad to finally get the chance to read the last installment. I prefer the ending to this book verses leaving us with the memory of the ending of the second book. The characters have grown up and the story reunites Michael and Jesse once again.

Ok, so this one is a guilty pleasure. I loved it as a teen and read it over and over. There was a TV movie of this story that introduced Rex Smith as a teen idol. I love the movie also even though it is pretty cheesy now. A fun read.

I remember loving this book when I was younger and becoming a huge fan of Carole Hart. Ahhh..the nostalgia. Old Joni is going to give this book 4 starts just because I am sure young Joni would have. LOL

Jessie finds out that dating an older guy is not as easy as it she thought it would be. Even though Michael said she could set the pace in their relationship, it is not that easy. It also become hard when Michael's band starts to get noticed. Not as good as the first books, but still a good read.
