A Girl I Knew by J.D. Salinger

4.0

Have you ever known someone you'd have liked to get to know better, that you had feelings for, that could have, might have, possibly should have been more in your life, but that left it and that you wondered about... what happened to them? Are they happy? Do they miss me...

This story starts with a lot of humor and is about a guy, dare I say boy, gallivanting about Europe who meets a girl and who lets her slip away....
And what he does to find out her fate.

Poignant and sweetly bitter, much like the coffee they shared together.
