I first read this book in the early 80s when I was a young teenager and I adored it then. It's about Tatiana, a 14-year-old New Yorker, who stars in her first movie and is navigating her blooming sexuality.

In fact, before I even get into the...

I'm going to be honest with you: at least 60% of the reason I read this is because of its author's cracktastic pen name. In combination with the paperback's cover, the book summary, and a co-writing credit with established YA author Paul Zindel, it absolutely sounds like a 19-year-old human disaster...

The book did have a good meaning and message directed towards mothers and daughters. However, this book seemed oddly specific and had too many details which...
