LOTS OF LAUGHS AND A FEW WELL-EARNED TEARS A TIME-BOUND TALE WITH TIMELESS APPEAL
Angela?s home life forces her to grow up too fast. A popular school leader and closet nerd, Angela responds by enshrining carefree fun as a virtue when it comes to the opposite sex.
Bart Aikens, filmmaker, The Vampires Dance
How does a good girl coming of age in 1950s Albany, New York, play the field when boys control the dating game? The boys who like Angela arent always the ones she pines for in her diary. Angela is dismayed that boys look down on the girls they have pushed to go all the way. She wants to avoid a fast reputation but yearns for no-strings-attached flirtations and slow dances with as many cute guys as she can juggle. Angela confides in and treasures her emancipated, artistic mentor. Sparks fly when her parents bar Angela from acting on her dating preferences. The events of one summer night forever color Angelas family relationships but cannot diminish her boy-crazy ways.
The secret thrills in Angelas Boy Crazy diary harken back to the days when Elvis was young and cell phones, computers, and the sexual revolution had yet to change American life.
Reading Boy Crazy is like being a GoPro action camerain the life of a girl, getting toseethrough her eyesas shegrows from child to young woman in a life filled with boys, men, happy times and tragedies, dances and historical eventsthis is life in the rawBoy Crazy provides a refreshingly unique journeyAngela is aware and involvedI loved this book and the vicarious living it provided.

Cmon, lets admit it. Wed look, if we could, at that diary of a lover, friend, or family member. We would. We want to know the secrets. We dont look, of course, out of courtesy and politeness. But what if someone courageously offered us a look into her diary, into her life, her mind, her heart? I found the look Angela offered fascinating, entertaining, and moving. Now its your turn. Go ahead, take a look. You know you want to.
