Title: Mostly a period piece, but you still might like it...
Review: if you like Zindel. Although "My Darling, My Hamburger" and some of his other books get criticized for being dated, this book is the only Zindel book that I think is really a period piece. The main character, a bored teenager, falls in love, or at least in lust, with a wacky teenage girl who steals drugs, cleans house in the nude, and has long conversations with him about finding oneself and other early-70s themes. It was considered "hip" and "racy" for 1970s youth readers (and came in a cool psychedelic paperback jacket then) but now it mostly just seems silly. I'd recommend it for Zindel fans only, or those who like books about teens in previous eras. The coolest thing about it is probably its title.
