During the summer the young girl hopes to receive her first kiss, learn to drive and experience some of life's better pleasures. The heroine's letters to Kennedy express her confusion and wonder as she grows up and progressively loses her innocence. The intelligent and touching novel combines a unique blend of lyricism, starkness and '60s nostalgia, reminding the reader of the fear behind boundaries that should never be crossed.
