Description
“A humorous yet cautionary tale of first love.” — Booklist When Hildy meets Connor of the melt-that-ice-cap smile, a summer that was going to be ordinary as toast turns into Hildy’s summer of love. But love for Hildy is not so much girl-meets-boy-and loses-her-heart as boy-meets-girl-and-loses-his-mind. Part cautionary tale and part romantic comedy, Dyan Sheldon’s wry, diary-style novel takes on the possessive side of summer romance with humor and insight.
