Seventeen is a humorous coming-of-age novel that follows William Sylvanus Baxter, a typical 17-year-old boy navigating the awkwardness of adolescence in a Midwestern town. Set in the early 20th century, the novel captures the trials of first love, teenage vanity, and the exaggerated emotions of youth as William becomes infatuated with the beautiful and flirtatious Lola Pratt. With wit and charm, Tarkington paints a nostalgic portrait of young love, family life, and the comedic ups and downs of growing up.
