I never read anything like THE POSSIBILITIES OF AMY and I really value originality. The fact that this novella had a young man telling of his high school crush and his relationship with two friends but was actually written by a woman was very impressive because it was done very realistically. This book actually seemed autobiographical and gave tremendous insight into how high school boys think and talk among themselves about sex.The book's imagery was extremely graphic and vivid and both the dialogues and the narrative were authentic. All of the characters had complex and realistic personaties. This book was very well-written and, although there were some editorial mistakes, they didn't interrupt the smooth flow of the story. I found it a little confusing recognizing the year this story had occurred (1968) before it was cleared up when David was talking about his car.This novella was easily read in one sitting and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Although this book was classified as YA literature, it can be enjoyed by people of any age. I definitely recommend it.
