Plot summary
Jenna Rink is thirteen in 1987 and desperate to be popular, so she does the Six Chicks' homework to get them to her birthday party. The clique humiliates her, and with the wishing dust her neighbor Matty Flamhaff sprinkled on a dollhouse, she wishes she were thirty. She wakes in 2004 in a Fifth Avenue apartment, an adult with no memory of the seventeen years gone by, and learns she edits the fashion magazine Poise alongside her friend Lucy Wyman. The magazine is losing ground to a rival, and Jenna's new life includes a job and a wardrobe she once wanted. Searching for the boy next door, she finds Matty, now a photographer in Greenwich Village, who tells her they stopped speaking in high school.
