'Experience was all-important that summer,' Sasha decides. Her seventeeth summer is a growing-up time, to do with best friend, boy, parents and jobs. A standard theme, well-handled. I found the book tough, intelligent, funny, painful and good. A definite choice for library and book boxes, worthwhile for small group and class reading.
