Sweet Coming-Of-Age Tale

A touching and smart coming-of-age story, "Too Young for Love" maintains a remarkable, simultaneous level of subtlety, depth, gentleness, and perspective. The novel tells the story of brainy, talented Killy Wyler who, despite incredible responsibility and maturity, lacks confidence and feels like a social outsider, due in large part to the fact that, having skipped two grades in elementary school, she is two years younger than the rest of the junior class. After a life-altering spring break voyage to Florence, however, Killy returns home with a renewed sense of confidence and determination to make amends with potential beau Tom Thompson, in the process gaining the courage to stand up to a long time nemesis and confront her mother about some troubling past issues. Abounding with beautiful description and thoughtful dialogue, the novel treats its heroine with the utmost respect, even at its surprisingly perceptive conclusion.
