Customer Reviews

My Mom bought this book for me!

My Mom bought this book for my when I was 12. This remains one of my favorite books, and I don't think any other book has become such a part of my identity. I think this book addresses the issue of friendship in girlhood, gay OR straight. If I ever have a daughter, I will pass my treasured copy on to her!

A Very Pivotal Book From My Adolescent Years

I was 15 when I first read this book (back in 1980) & it affected me very deeply. Until then I thought I was the only girl like me in the world & that I was somehow defective. Reading "Hey, Dollface" was a soul-satisfying revelation & gave me hope for my future. Truly, one of the ten most influential books of my life.

A wonderful book

A charming story about emerging sexual identity. This book continued to cast it's spell over me for several days after finishing it, my only criticism being that it zips by far too quickly--I would gladly spend more time with these characters. May this one hurry back to press, and may Deborah Hautzig return to young adult fiction.

excellent modern issues book

I read the book and loved it. It was a realistic sensitive book about two girls who are bestfriends. They are extremely close and need to explore their feelings for eachother as to learn about themselves and their sexuality. It is an extremely modern book, so don't be discouraged that it was published in the late 70's.

Best book i've read ..... job well done Deborah!

Out of curiousity I checked the book out from the library. Read the entire book in about 1.5 hours! I've checked it out half a dozen times to read it again and again! If only the darn library still had the book.......
