I thought eighth grade would be my year. I was so wrong.
Colleen Hart just wanted to matter. To sit at the right lunch table. To be noticed by Brittany Chen's popular group. To stop feeling invisible.
When Brittany invites her to the center table, Colleen can't believe her luck. Sure, she has to ditch her best friend Michelle. Sure, she has to pretend the mean jokes are funny. Sure, she's exhausted from performing every single day.
But that's the price of being popular in 1985. Right?
Then Amber arrives, the new girl who wears her uniform all wrong and eats lunch alone and somehow looks happier than anyone. When Brittany humiliates Amber at her birthday party, Colleen faces an impossible choice.
Stay silent and stay popular. Or speak up and lose everything.
Set against a soundtrack of Madonna, Wham!, and Cyndi Lauper, Colleen's 1985 is a story about the courage it takes to be yourself when everyone else wants you to be someone else.
Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just be you.
