Title: A well-written story about first love and growing up
Product review: One of my favorite books! When I first picked up _Seventeenth Summer_, I was a little turned off by some of the old-fashioned language, and wondered how I could relate to a book written in 1942. But _Seventeenth Summer_ describes the emotions of first love so vividly that it doesn't feel old-fashioned at all. Instead, you will find yourself feeling like Maureen Daly wrote your own life story- from that wonderfully free but kind of scared way you feel when you've just graduated from high school, to how you feel when you first go out with a guy you really click with, to the way your view of your family changes as you find yourself growing up (this probably comes from the fact that the author was only 19 when she started writing the book, and modeled the characters and situations on her own life). Don't be put off by the dippy cover photo, or the year that it was written- this is one of the best books you will ever read about being seventeen.
