Jackie Dunn and Matt Stewart barely knew each other in high school, back when she was a blue-haired alterna-kid and he was a preppy jock.

They agree to do everything exactly as they remember, even though that means staying with the boyfriend Jackie knows will betray her, or playing nice with the girl that will someday be Matt’s ex-wife. Soon, they come to rely on one other, even become friends.Jackie’s just starting to get used to curfews and term papers again, when Matt hits her with the biggest surprise of all: he’s fallen in love with her. He’ll change the past however he has to if it means a future with Jackie. But Jackie’s terrified they’ll not only alter their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.Back to the Future meets She's All That, Class of '98 is a young adult/adult crossover that will appeal to teens and adults.

I love the idea of this book so much, especially since I'm getting close to a 10 year reunion myself and wasn't exactly buddy buddy with...well, anyone at school. I remember going to my younger brother's graduation ceremony and saw some classmates. Got some of those, "Sarah! How've you been??" hugs and chats. And the few people I talked to commented on how different I became after high school. My response? "Well, when you go to a school with people more socially awkward than you, it tends to help you mellow out." I just like that I'm at a point where I could relate to the story and really appreciate the nostalgia factor from the book's similarities to Back to the Future and She's All That. Sounds excellent!
