A charming, sweet, sentimental, warmly engaging read. Superbly written and deeply moving. Set on the fictional Packett Island, which is within a ferry ride distance from the New England coast, Summer Of '42 is a poignant coming-of-age story about a 15-year old boy in love with an older woman of 22.
