Summary: One of My Favorite Books
Comment: When 19-year-old Phoebe Desmond finds out she's pregnant--and is subsequently dumped by Tyrus, the middle-aged "emotionally disturbed" father of the child--she travels to Paris to have her baby in the company of a friend, Marlys Hightower. During her six-month stay in France, Phoebe falls in love with Ben Reuben (a rich artist friend of Marlys' who lets Phoebe board with him), and she exposes some shocking secrets along the way.
It's been years since I've read this book (sometime during my junior or senior year of high school), but this is still one of my favorite books. Phoebe's first person narrative and wit is wickedly amusing and honest. If you like adult books by Judy Blume, then you might like "The Book of Phoebe." Highly recommended.

Summary: Not a Moment Too Soon
Comment: Goodbye, tongue-tied! hello saucy! I just memorized all the great lines from this way too much fun book, and now I can mow them down at parties when the talk turns snappy. I only wish Phoebe had come into my life sooner! I can't wait for the author's next book!

Summary: Wonderful story, wonderful writing
Comment: The Book of Phoebe is one of those books that you h ate to see end. Phoebe Desmond is a heroine who is both irreverent and spiritual in the best sense of both words. When Phoebe finds she's pregnant as the result of her first love affair, she takes off for Paris determined to have her baby without having to tell the baby's father that he is a father. In Phoebe's opinion he doesn't deserve to know. While she thinks of Paris as an escape, it turns out to be more of a learning experience than Yale ever was , teaching her more about herself than she sometimes wanted to know. She's funny, gutsy, courageous and all those good things you want the people you read about to be. This is a story that begins with a girl coming to grips with some major events in her life, events, which might have traumatized someone else. What they did for Phoebe was turn her from a girl I liked very much, into a woman I liked even more. The writing is first rate, the laughs and the tears nicely interspersed. It's the kind of book that makes you feel a lot better for having read it.
