My Thoughts

It has been years since I have read the trilogy. I would have to refresh my memory. From what I do remember, is Fly Girl is a coming of age story in the late 80’s. It was quite entertaining to read. It’s no wonder the book turned into a trilogy. We just could not get enough of the character Tracy Ellison.

I am looking forward to seeing the movie. My only problem is why did it take so long. I guess I will have to brush up on all 3 books. Who’s down with a book club!?!
