Book Description
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
