Rosamond Du Jardin

    Rosamond du Jardin bola spisovateľka, ktorá si pôvodne získala uznanie vďaka svojim humorným príspevkom do novín a časopisov. Jej kariéra sa vyvinula k písaniu románov pre dospelých a najmä pre mladých dospelých, kde skúmala témy relevantné pre život tínedžerov. Hlboko sa spájala so svojimi mladými čitateľmi, často hovorila v školách a rešpektovala tínedžerov ako jednotlivcov. Jej dielo často odrážalo jej presvedčenie o prirodzenom záujme a spoľahlivosti mladých ľudí.

After deciding that it was a mistake to "go steady" she broke it off with Ronny. Although there might be lonely evenings ahead, at least life would have more variety...and variety there was! First, Jay moved next door seeming cold and aloof. Then a series of incidents and the warmth of Twink's family broke down his wall of reserve. Twink grew fond of Jay, and thoroughly enjoyed his swimming pool and red Jaguar, but it was Gary who she really liked.... Would Gary only have eyes for pretty and sophisticated Lib?
