Poignant book about gawky American teen in US WWII era who discovers that sexuality isn't all about lust. Great movie with Jennifer O'Neill.

A charming, sweet, sentimental, warmly engaging read. Superbly written and deeply moving. Set on the fictional Packett Island, which is within a ferry ride distance from the New England coast, Summer Of '42 is a poignant coming-of-age story about a 15-year old boy in love with an older woman of 22.

This is a very good book, in great condition. Old book but still a favorite. It was the nationwide bestseller novel and became an unforgettable motion picture.
