Seventeenth Summer
Over break I started reading the book Seventeenth Summer by Mawreen Daly. I didn't particularly like the book so I decided to end it early I only read to page 206 because. The book follows a girl named Angie and she falls in love shortly after meeting the towns bad boy Jack. They have their ups and downs throughout the book like the stereotypical relationship in most romantic books. Also, the book was written during the 1940's which made it hard to relate to. The book was written with really elongated details that didn't have to be in the writing, which made the book really long. Also the book is really out dated and most of the scenarios are far-fetched and hard to believe. The beginning of the book just jumps into a relationship that just doesn't sound believable. Personally I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone that doesn't like slow very detailed books. But if you do enjoy that type of book I would be intrigued to find out what you thought of it and what happens in the end.

This sounds like a really good book. I love how you described how the book was written. It showed that you noticed things that some other readers would never notice. I might just have to go get this book :)
