Suppose her parents won't let her go? What if she's nervous and makes a fool of herself? Maybe he'll think she's too young. If only she knew all the clever things to say. If only she were prettier. If only she were ready for this...

My first love story
I am 39 years old and have not read this book in many years but have read it a over a dozen times. I sat and enjoyed every minute of it all over again….
Never tire Of this book
I read this when I was a teenager way back many, many years ago. It’s just such a nice story for girls.
It was a simpler time back then. Some thing I wish our society could get back to. Good morals. Just a nice feel good story.
