Sandra Scoppettone Summary

As in Scoppettone's other books, excellent writing and lively characterizations grace a heartwarming "it could happen to me" story. [Long Time Between Kisses] tells the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who misinterprets the confused feelings, self-negation, and rebelliousness common to adolescence as love for a man with multiple sclerosis (who is himself confused and rebellious).

And, as in the author's earlier writings, my only reservation about Long Time Between Kisses lies with the portrayal of Billie, the main character. Her artsy east coast language and habits (such as sipping a daily cappuccino) may diminish the story's realism for some readers.

This is a free excerpt of 99 words. There are 170 words (approx. 1 page at 300 words per page) in the full critical essay.
