One of My All-Time Favorites
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I happened upon this collection of short stories while wandering the stacks of my college library during my freshman year at UW Eau Claire. In an attempt to avoid studying for final exams, I began browsing its pages and quickly fell in love with Slesinger's writing style. The title story hit all the right notes as I was nursing a broken heart at the time and was quite certain no one else had ever felt the same (ah, the drama of youth!). I purchased it a few years ago and it's one of those books I read annually without fail.
Great book!!

I'm really glad that I found this book because I have been searching for it for a long time. I bought it new and it arrived earlier than expected!! :)
