    About this audiobook

    Each discovery disturbs the arrangements of the known world, and it is our job to stay alert to all possibilities.

    LaVaughn believes she is keeping alert to all possibilities. She has made it through the projects, she's gotten over heartbreak, she's grown up, and now she's been admitted to the Women in Science program that might finally be her ticket to COLLEGE. But the discoveries she makes during her senior year in high school–two girls pregnant, with very few options–disturb everything in her known world. And in an effort to bring together people who should love each other, she jeopardizes the one prize she has sought her whole life long.

    When do you know whether you're doing the right thing? What happens when you can't find a way to make lemonade out of lemons?

    Virginia Euwer Wolff takes on the biggest questions–about life and love, certainly, but also about girls and women, sacrifice and compassion–and has something quite revelatory to say about them in this full house.

      LaVaughn has had one goal on her mind for years now: escape her poor inner-city neighborhood and go to college. Now she's a senior in high school and she's in a Women in Medical Science group... she's finally on her way. But life gets complicated when one of her friends gets pregnant and LaVaughn will struggle to find the meaning of the word "family". I've been waiting for this book to come out for a long time and I was so happy to live in LaVaughn's world for awhile! Sure, a big plot point was a little over the top and a mite hard to believe, but I love LaVaughn so much that I don't care! Definitely check out Make Lemonade and True Believer before you read this book. It's a very satisfying conclusion to the Make Lemonade trilogy.
    • 4/5
      Third in the trilogy, This Full House continues the story of LaVaughn, an inner city teen who is now 17 years old and beginning to think about the possibility of college. In this installment, the book explores ethics and choices, as well as motherhood and/or the absence of a mother. All of the books in this series are written in verse, although as a reader of the audiobook version in this and the previous book, I really could not tell. I felt that book #3 was on par with the previous two -- presenting a good glimpse of some of the issues that an inner city teen might have to deal with. However, written for a tween audience, these were a much scaled-down version of what would likely be happening in reality. The language is very innocent, as are most of the characters. I could see these as being educational & appealing for ages 10-12, or possibly an older teen 20 years ago, but anyone older in this day and age might scoff at the seeming innocence of these novels.
    • 3/5
      I'm emotionally invested in LaVaughn & Jolly. I wanted to love this book, but I only like it. It's achingly contrived in parts, although it retains the emotional immediacy of the earlier books. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to buy the central plot point, and I'm sad about that.
    • 2/5
      Narrated by Heather Alicia Simms. The prospect of LaVaughn reuniting her WIMS teacher Dr. Moore with friend Jolly and the process she goes through to assure their blood connection was intriguing but in the end I lost interest in the story. There seemed to be too much going on here: the WIMS program, Annie's pregnancy, LaVaughn's deception. And the screaming in the shower was too performance-art for me...weird!
