Snadowsky captures the nostalgia of the first time (kiss, sex, love, etc ) with humor, sensuality and reality.
This modern day book will do for Today's Teens, what Judy Blume's Forever has done for other generations.
Depending on the individual this novel can be too graphic and descriptive. I recommend it for older teens or for parents to use as a sexual educational tool for their teen.
The main, character Dom is likable and sweet. You literally watch her grow up in this novel.
This book is fast paced and easy to read. It is perhaps the most honest look into teen relationships and the exploration of sexuality.
Grade: A
Synopsis ( B&N)
Before this all happened, the closest I'd ever come to getting physical with a guy was playing the board game Operation. Okay, so maybe that sounds pathetic, but it's not like there were any guys at my high school who I cared to share more than three words with, let alone my body.Then I met Wes, a track star senior from across town. Maybe it was his soulful blue eyes, or maybe my hormones just started raging. Either way, I was hooked. And after a while, he was too. I couldn't believe how intense my feelings became, or the fact that I was seeing—and touching—parts of the body I'd only read about in my Gray's Anatomy textbook. You could say Wes and I experienced a lot of firsts together that spring. It was scary. It was fun. It was love.And then came the fall.
