Wildfire #49 Spring Love and #50 No Boys?

49. Spring Love, Jennifer Sarasin, 1983

Becca's senior year is hardly what she expected.  Her mother has left home, and Becca is stuck in New York with her overprotective, critical father.  She feels abandoned and alone—until she meets Mark. 

Mark is tender and understanding, and soon he and Becca become inseparable!  But Becca's father is always between them, putting limits on Becca and treating her like a child. 

Can Mark help convince Becca to stand up for herself, and to convince her father that she can be trusted?

Rather than romance, this story is mainly about Becca's extreme insecurity and her relationship with her father.  This book is excellent.

50. No Boys?, McClure Jones, 1983

Janet has been raised by two uncles who still treat her like a baby.  So when Eric starts asking her out, she doesn't know what to do.  She can't bring him to her house, since her uncles won't let her date "strange" boys.  Finally she begins seeing him secretly—which leads to more trouble than she ever imagined…

This book is very good to excellent.
