When I was fifteen in the 80s I got this book from my parents. I treasured it until the paperback was in rough shape and got thrown out by my mom. I've been periodically looking for it ever since. Every teen girl should read this wholesome, funny 50s tale of a teen girl's pangs of wanting a boyfriend and well, you girls know. I modeled my first date after this one but we didn't have a Chinatown in our small African town. Nevertheless, I did share a milkshake and get that first kiss! This book is a treasure! And after 35 years I still remember it well. That speaks for itself.
