Seventeenth Summer

By: Maureen Daly

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

A summer to remember…

Angie always thought high school romances were just silly infatuations that come and go. She certainly never thought she would fall in love over one short summer. But then she sees Jack Duluth’s crew cut peek out over a booth in McKnight’s drugstore, and their connection is beyond any childish crush. Suddenly, Angie and Jack are filling their summer with stolen moments and romantic nights. But as fall grows closer, they must figure out if their love is forever or just a summer they’ll never forget.

Critic reviews

“An utterly enchanting book.” ( New York Times)

Terrible ending

I was mostly enjoying the book but I didn’t like that Angie never shared her inner thoughts. Maybe it’s a time period thing but frustrating. And the ending was super anticlimactic and blah!

loved this story when I read it many years ago and still love it now!

sweet love story that ends sweetly too!
one of my favorite love stories sweet and innocent!

Interesting listen

This was interesting, at first it was hard to place the setting of this one. It was definitely of another era but hard to place. Then after doing a little research on the author and when it was written it made a little more sense. It's a sweet look at the time but very slow moving and full over drawn out descriptions but brings you back to a slower time. Narration is done well.

Takes you back in time to a slower pace!

This made my mind go back to a simpler time. A time with values...morals.....true love that lasts.

sweet summer

I read this as a teenager. Wonderful, sweet story about first love. So happy to have found this again.
