"If I Knew Then..."
by Amy Fisher
The day she was deemed the name "Long Island Lolita", Amy Fisher knew her life had changed forever. A rebellious, love-stricken teen is caught up in a whirlwind of emotions, and finds herself making the worst decision of her life. At age 17, Amy Fisher falls in love with a man named Joey Buttafuoco who, at the time, was 35 years old. All Joey does is complain about how obnoxious his wife is, and he tells her about how he craves to shoot her, but does not want to get in trouble. Feeling pressured, Amy takes the task on herself. Fisher arrived at Mary Jo Buttafuoco's house on May 19, 1992. She confessed that her sister was having an affair with Joey. With her head in a fog, Amy Fisher repeatedly hit Mary Jo in the head with the gun. However, the gun misfired and shot Mary Jo. This memoir consists of Amy's thoughts on the whole situation. Now 30 years of age, Amy Fisher tells the world, for the first time, what she was feeling at the time and how she has changed since the accident.
I am really enjoying the book so far. The plot is captivating and exciting. Some parts are very graphic and detailed, but that is what keeps me reading. I can't wait to keep reading to learn about Fisher's experience in Jail. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants a good read!
