About this audiobook
When she was fifteen, Jennifer Mee developed an unrelenting case of the hiccups-hiccupping as many as fifty times a minute for months. Soon the Florida teen's strange story went viral. Dubbed the "Hiccup Girl" by the media, she gained international sympathy and appeared on a slew of popular TV shows. Eventually, Jennifer's hiccups went away, and so did her fame.
Depressed and craving affection, Jennifer hooked up with the wrong people and slipped into drug dealing and street life-a downward spiral that led to the murder of an innocent young man. Now, renowned investigative journalist M. William Phelps expertly recounts Jennifer's shocking true story of thwarted desires, betrayed trust, and deadly manipulation.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another good book by M. William Phelps. This one centers on Jennifer Mee, known as the Hiccup Girl, and the murder she was involved in. The murder of Shannon Griffin, who was enticed to a meeting with Jennifer that was really a ploy for a robbery. The book is mostly about Jennifer and her life, especially during the time when she had the hiccups and could not stop. The story is very interesting. The book was well-written and well researched. It is obvious that Mr. Phelps did a lot of research for this book. I really liked this book and do recommend it!
