Book Review By Kristy Pastore
Maggie Cassidy by Jack Kerouac

Maggie Cassidy is the love interest of a teenage boy growing up in Lowell, MA. The plot is a basic adolescent love story. The young narrator is active in sports, hangs out with his friends, and daydreams of being with Maggie. The writing is cut and dry which makes the novel a very simple read.
