Fifteen Review

I read this book daily when I was a child in the 70's. I fell in love with the characters. It was so unlike what was going on in my era. People were becoming bolder, girls were becoming more adult earlier. But this book took me back to time where things moved at a slower place. I loved the part where they all went to the Chinese restaurant and Jane was nervous about handling the chopsticks and dropped a piece of shrimp down her blouse. You go through every doubt, every embarassment with Jane and you keep your fingers crossed for her! I wish I would have made my daughter read this when she was preteen.

Read it in the early 1970s as a preteen... - Miriam Erez - Israel
...it was old-fashioned even then: Twirling around the dance floor in a boy's arms? Yet I loved it. Wouldja believe when I was first married, my husband and I took turns reading it aloud for laughs? We still say to each other "Hello there!" a la Marcy Stokes. No doubt about it: It wouldn't've been the same childhood w/o Cleary.
