Having read all the books for teen girls in our limited school library and the bookmobile, this was my favorite. I did not recall names of the characters until reading it again today. So refreshing to read, without any foul language! I was amazed to learn the young age of the author. Her descriptions of scenes brought them to life. I knew I had to read this again when I saw it in the Kindle library. Many thanks! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Refreshing summer tale of first love that is never forgotten *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2011* Angie is a traditional girl that doesn't think much about high school crushes. It's the summer before her freshman year of college and she doesn't have big plans. That is until she meets Jack and can't deny her attraction to him. Her summer takes a complete turn for the better and she stars spending a lot of time with Jack. It quickly becomes the most romantic summer of her life, but in the back of her mind, she is constantly thinking about fall and what it inevitably brings. Seventeenth Summer by Maureen Daly is a glimpse into an American summer in the 1950's before relationships and life were confused by the Internet, electronics and of course, cell phones. It's a refreshing summer tale of first love that is never forgotten.Angie is the quintessential good girl. She listens to her parents, she does what she's told, she never talks back, and never questions authority. Unfortunately, most young adult today are the polar opposite, whether that's good or bad, that's up to you to decide, but I found it intriguing. It was so foreign to me to have the main character, who is going to college soon, ask her mom if she could go for a walk, etc. Most teenagers would be out the door in their car without a second thought! So for me, this was like a step back into another world and I found it delightful.Angie and Jack's relationship was cute and of course, she was nervous and second guessing everything. Thankfully, there's no Facebook, Twitter, or texting to confuse Angie even further. She just had to wait for Jack's call! Could you imagine! (Ha!) But in all honestly, it just seemed so uncomplicated.Daly really captured a first summer love; it was magical, but the whole time Angie is worried about fall since she leaves for college. Perhaps it was fresh in Daly's mind as she wrote this novel before she turned twenty, which is an impressive feat. Additionally, I found this novel to be similar to Sixteenth Summer by Michelle Dalton. It was interesting to compare the two novels; obviously, Dalton was inspired by this tale of summer love with a September deadline. On a side note, I must share this one interesting fact I came across. Seventeenth Summer is one of the first novels to target young adults--how cool!I think adults would like Seventeenth Summer as well since I'm sure it could be viewed as a walk down memory lane, but I am not sure many young adults could appreciate this different way of life as this book isn't edgy at all. For example, they say thinks like "gee" and "gosh" a lot, they go for a Coke at the local restaurant, etc, and I'm sure my students would laugh hysterically at this. I love the 50's and 60's, so I could appreciate the time period, but others may find this simple life quite boring. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a find! *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022* I read this book in high school, many many many years ago and loved it then. Delighted to have found it on Amazon and it was just as wonderful reading it now as it was then. Poignant, sweet story of innocent first love. Just wonderful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10415785-seventeenth-summer](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10415785-seventeenth-summer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
