Wicker Park Wishes

Bring on the 90s music, tv, fads, snack food and more with 𝗪𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀, a fun in nostalgic trip back into my favorite decade! I really enjoyed how this fast-paced story took me back to memories of my own experiences, growing up in the 90s and trying to find my way as a teenager growing into an adult.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: In 1994 Chicago, the Internet barely exists, people use payphones, and answering machines can make or break a relationship. Claire lives with her roommate in a shabby apartment in pre-gentrified Wicker Park, where needles dot the sidewalks and pot is still illegal. She wants to get away from her suburban North Shore background, going from country club to dance club, and gets wasted along the way. She has an okay temp job downtown, but all she wants to do is make enough money to get out of Chicago and see the world. Her plan is chugging along until guys, work, and friends complicate the situation, and ultimately she has to decide what she really wants.

AOTD: I am really thankful I grew up in a day when there were not cell phones, because my best memories are from just all the fun I had playing with friends when I was little and then hanging out as a teenager.
