Rating:  Summary: My all time favorite book Review: I first read this book in the 1950s in my 15th summer and thus began a lifelong love affair with Jack and Angie. Did this type of innocence really exist? I really hope it did. Each time I read the mesmerizing words of Maureen Daly I'm transported back to that enchanting summer with Jack and Angie and their bittersweet love story. It never fails to capture my heart all over again.
Rating:  Summary: First read it when I was 17; still reading it at 34 Review: This is one of the most touching stories about young love that I've read. I first read it when I was seventeen; seventeen years later, I still find it a delightful read.
Rating:  Summary: Great Love Story For All Age Groups! Review: This book is a great book for teenagers and adults alike to read. It grabs your attention with stories of the romance filled relationship that Angie and Jack share. At first Angie never thought she would have a chance with the fabulous, gorgeous football player from her high school. Well, after they graduate, Angie is in for a big surprise. She soon gets a visit from Jack and finds out that he is single and "hint hint" he wants her to go boating with him! She is so excited that she gladly agrees to go. She has the best time of her life and falls head over heels for him. As you read all of the hardships they go through together as a couple, you will be drawn into the story. As I read this book it felt as though I was there with them on the boat and in Pete's and McKnight's. When Jane Rady shows up I feel as though I am Angie sitting there drinking my Coke as Jack dances with Jane. As the summer ends, Jack and Angie have to face the fact that Angie is going to college and they will have to seperate. Just as you start to think it is over between Jack and Angie, Mrs. Daly adds a little twist to the story's plot.( You'll have to read the book to find out what I am talking about.) Maureen Daly has wrote a wonderful tale of true love and friendship. I recommend you to read this book. If you love to read love stories and love books that draw you into the plot, then you will love this book. You won't regret it. I promise.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. It's a great read!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Story! Review: I read this story when I was 14 or 15 and it wasn't like the other frivolous love stories that I read at the same time. I am 34 now and I could read it over and over. It is not a dated book. Whatever is happening could happen today. Wonderful!
