All I Ever Wanted is a brilliant coming-of-age novel for teens which, like Honey Browns The Good Daughter, might be enjoyed by adults too. Though Mim makes mistakes, and plenty of them, this novel contains none. The rules Mim lives by turn out to be useful only as each one is broken. Mims neighbourhood is peopled with bizarre characters who bring this teen novel to life with warmth and humour. But then a new friend s support gives her the bravery to stick to her guns, and the phone-sex worker next door, who is studying to be a nurse, teaches her not to judge by outward appearances. Friday Never Leaving Book by Vikki Wakefield Official Publisher Page Simon & Schuster About The Book About The Author Product Details Raves and Reviews Resources and Downloads Friday Never Leaving By Vikki Wakefield Trade Paperback LIST PRICE 9. Mim has lived her young life by a set of rules, which she believes will help her escape her mother s fate. When Mim loses a package of happy pills that her drug-dealer mother has asked her to pick up, it begins a train of events that gives her the shove from fate she s been waiting for all her life. I read this novel in one gulp, loving every moment of the narrator s voice and the strangeness of her impoverished life.
