Much like people who can remember what they were doing on the day a major event in history happened, many readers can remember the day they read an unforgettable book.
With all the books I’ve read and they number very high, I can still remember my first unforgettable book. I was way past the teen years but somehow I ended up being given a great teen novel. I read it, loved it, laughed so hard. She had a crush on her high school English teacher. It was totally hokey, so was the main character but I loved the way the English teacher knew she had a crush on him but managed to make her embarrassment about it OK. At the end, he wished her success in her life and someone absented herself. She smiled. She no longer had a crush on him but she wasn’t embarrassed. The crush had taken her through some difficult times. She regretted nothing.
