When my older sister went off to college in 1968, I stumbled upon this book in her book shelf. It is the lighthearted and engagingly written tale of two high school sweethearts, Laurie and Sammy. Yes, it was written in and about a bygone era, the 1950's, but for me it sparkled with all the excitement, joy and heartache of my own coming of age I was experiencing at the time.The characters are well drawn. Laurie's parents were the typical 50's mom and dad. Her older sister is reminiscent of my high school best friend's sister with melodrama galore. The situations, the powerful emotion of first love, the frustration with being forever misunderstood by out dated parents, these are universal and contemporary subjects no matter what decade we grew up in. For me as a young teen, I found the story very easy to relate to and it became a favorite book. One I have never forgotten.I recently purchased a copy on amazon and re read it, enjoying it just as much if not more than the first time. The story is still fresh, light and fun. It took me right back to high school and filled me with a warm and bittersweet longing for simpler times when I was young and life was so fresh.I recommend this book to anyone who is young, or once was young. You will enjoy the warm rush you will receive from this timeless, lighthearted tale of young love.
