My mother bought this for me at a time not even near my 16th birthday. I can't remember if it was before or after, but there are so many stories that have stuck with me from this volume. There are probably many reasons for this; it was the beginning of my love affair with short story collections, each story is from a different author so they remain fresh, and (most obvious of all) I read it at a time when I could most relate to tales of learning to drive, starting to shave, and discovering love isn't what you thought it would be.
I would probably not recommend it to anyone right now, seeing as it may all seem silly or childish, but maybe I'm wrong and it deserves a second look. If you have any younger sisters, though, THIS is the book for them.

It is, as with most collections, uneven. The stories I did like, however, I really loved--for them alone I would recommend giving this one a try.
