Bookroo's summary

Angie Morrow never believed in high school love until she met Jack Duluth, the charming basketball star. Their summer is filled with secret moments and unforgettable nights. But as college in Chicago and family obligations in Oklahoma loom, Angie and Jack must decide if their love can withstand the changing seasons or if it was just a fleeting summer dream.

From the publisher

First published in the 1940s, Seventeenth Summer is considered the first young adult novel. Now with refreshed text and a brand-new look, this timeless, sweeping romance is perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Jenny Han. Angeline “Angie” Morrow always thought high school romances were just silly infatuations that come and go. She certainly never thought she would fall in love. But when she’s asked out on her first date by the school basketball star, Jack Duluth, their connection is beyond any childish crush. Suddenly, Angie and Jack are filling their summer with stolen moments and romantic nights. But fall is coming–Angie is going off to college in Chicago, while Jack is planning to move to Oklahoma to help with the family bakery–and they must figure out if their love is forever, or just a summer they’ll never forget.
