Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Something Foolish, Something Gay
This was my first romance. I was thirteen and buying books with my allowance from Scholastic Book Club at school. I read this one til it was dogeared. The new copy I bought on line a couple years ago is in lots better shape! This is the book that gave me the idea that a girl should marry her high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. It's the book that hooked me on happily ever after romance novels. It's the book that led me to books as comfort food. It's the book that led me to read "Little Women" again; this time with a hanky. And, it's really cute and Sammy Hastings is to die for. :)

Read this as a freshman in high school. Very cute book.

I remember this book fondly from my teenaged years. Altho, I will admit, it was old even then. Made me kind of wish I'd been born 15 or 16 years earlier than I really WAS. It is probably hopelessly dated now, but as a glimpse of teenaged life (or teenaged life as perceived then) in the late 50's it is very good. A younger, more innocent time, where we didn't have to worry about drugs, sex and rock and roll was still also innocent (no matter WHAT the parental units thought.)
I read this for nostalgia purposes. Read it when I was 13, and several other times in life since. My copy is worn and torn. So reminiscent of the early 1970s.
This book was kicking around my house as a kid and I must have read it five or six times. Loved it.
A young adult classic.
