My Review:
This was a great book about a young man and a friendship that was so much more. With Sabrina he got friendship, a mentor, a confidant, and of course a love interest. This book reminded me of "The Graduate". However rather than focusing on the mother/daughter triangle, this author focuses on the bond between the characters. This was definitely an interesting read and I recommend it. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

  2. Sabrina's Window sounds like an intriguing read. I wonder if it closely examines the blurred lines of propriety in such a relationship. Thanks for the introduction to three very interesting authors and their books.
