This is the only book I ever purposely kept after having checked it out from the library in grade school. It's still on my shelf. This is my first reread since high school. 

I think at that age, it struck me that people could love each other so much that it could be tragic. Now it reads kind of cringey, but I read that ME Kerr recently passed away and was struck with nostalgia.
