I was looking for a book that I loved as a teen called Hanging with Cici and I found out that there were two follow-up books that I never knew about. This collection includes all of the books in the trilogy. (Hanging with Cici is now called My Mother Was Never a Kid.) While I'm now an adult and no longer in the target audience, it was fun to reread the first book and then see what happened to Victoria in the two follow-up books. These were written in the late-70's and early-80's, so the situations are dated, but I think that young women today would relate to Victoria's feelings and the situations that she has to make her way through. Victoria is spunky, fun and far from perfect -- very relatable. ( )
