4.0

 Not my favorite Heinlein but a pleasant re-read nonetheless. It's hard to say much without spoilers, but vaguely speaking, it's funny how certain plot elements I remember as central to the story don't come in until 3/4 of the way through the book. 

 I was definitely not aware of how close to being sketchy the central romance is when I read this as a teen... Paying close attention this time through, I believe he stays just this side of actually being inappropriate at every moment, but if you're sensitive to 
adult/minor relationships
you may not enjoy this one.
