Today, Bob Greene is a celebrated, nationally-syndicated columnist. In 1964, he was a seventeen-year-old Ohio high school kid. And he kept a diary.
It's all here. The teenage girl who got away. The twenty-seven-year-old woman who didn't. The first beer. The first job. A series of bad haircuts. Friendship and betrayal, griping and groping, a daily account of one boy's struggle - and all of our struggles - to forge his way into adulthood with dignity intact, virginity a bad memory, and the day-to-day knowledge that it's not going to get any easier.
A delightful book, and like the song Greene cruised to that summer, fun, fun, fun. - Los Angeles Times Book Review
Everyone who was ever seventeen will love it! - Ann Landers
In 1964, America's last year of innocence, Bob Greene, a 17-year-old high school student, kept a diary. In 1987, he reconstructed that diary--and never has there been a more delightful and moving book about adolescence. Instantly engaging.--Los Angeles Times Book Review.
