You'll appreciate "One or Two Things I Learned About Love" if you enjoy stories that weave humor into the rollercoaster ride of first love. Dyan Sheldon captures the awkward, funny, and sometimes cautionary aspects of young romance in a way that makes you reflect on the intensity of teenage emotions, while still leaving you smiling and perhaps a bit wiser. This book is like a summer breeze — light, refreshing, and occasionally gusty enough to remind you to hold onto your hat.
