Love Story, by Erich Segal (adult Fiction)
by Melanie, entering 12th grade
Set in Cambridge, Massachusetts, this novel traces the lives of Oliver Barrett IV, a Harvard student/jock who comes from a very wealthy upperclass family, and Jenny Callaveri, a student at the all-girls school, Radcliffe, near Harvard. They meet at the Radcliffe library and begin dating. Love Story follows the couple as they fall in love.
Segal has a very unique writing style that makes you have to finish the book. For having been written in the 70’s, this book is not at all boring or anything else that one might assume.
