Seventeenth Summer
Author: Maureen Daly
"...It wasn't puppy love, or infatuation, or love at first sight, or anything that people always talk about and laugh. I can't really explain it--it's so hard to put into words but--well, it was just something I'd never felt before. Something I'd never even known.
