Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-14 00:00:00 Roger Andre My number one book of my Childhood. Dearly loved, I read it often!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-09 00:00:00 Kenneth Lawson I read this book some time in the 70s, and little bits of it stayed with me. Not, unfortunately, the title or the author. Of course. I remembered the protagonist, a girl on a foreign exchange to France, buying bright green shampoo, I remembered that she initially had a crush on a cynical older man, remembered the name of the boy she eventually fell in love with, I remembered that he died (though I was a little off on just how), and I remembered almost verbatim some words spoken about her grief by a kindly friend. I recently turned to the wonderful resource that is TomatoNation.com--or, more specifically, its "Ask the Readers" advice column--and based only on the bits I remembered, someone found the title for me. (And thank you, Amazon Kindle!) It's a lovely little story of first love, and first grief, and I'm giving it a full 5 stars because any book that stays with you for 40 years deserves them.
