Summary

A summer to remember…

Angie always thought high school romances were just silly infatuations that come and go. She certainly never thought she would fall in love over one short summer. But then she sees Jack Duluth’s crew cut peek out over a booth in McKnight’s drugstore, and their connection is beyond any childish crush. Suddenly, Angie and Jack are filling their summer with stolen moments and romantic nights. But as fall grows closer, they must figure out if their love is forever or just a summer they’ll never forget.

Critic Reviews

“An utterly enchanting book.” ( New York Times)
All stars
Most relevant
Firstly, you need to understand that this was written in the 1930's, and apparently when Maureen Daly was still young herself.
If you understand that context then I think it helps to understand the vocabulary and mannerisms in the story.
I enjoyed the innocence, and the glimpse of a time and place gone by, and found myself contemplating the pro's and con's of simpler times, with the pro's winning.
A light and interesting coming-of-age story, well narrated and worth listening to if you're in the mood for a tale that moves along as slowly and calmly as a Spring evening breeze.

Took me to that time and place

A great balance to our modern life. We’ll worth the journey back in time. A good read.

Sensitive and poetic
