"My first ever “dirty” book. I think I was in grade eight."

"I was done way before they introduced Ralph. "

"I enjoyed this book and what their story had to offer. Read this in about 3 and a half hours. Great read for teen love/ first love type of romance and a reflection on what it teaches you in life and relationships with people. I was upset with the ending but ultimately understandable to the situation. I still recommend to read this book. Would be great for people who are just getting into mature reading. "

"a psa for teenage love"

"SO GOOD! Read it in a day -about 5 hours. It was narrated in a way that reminded me of my 16 year old self & my thought processes. The ending shattered my heart in many ways, but was (almost) perfect closure. I definitely recommend this for 16+ y/o’s because of strong sexual discussion, some cursing, and some drug & alcohol use. 10/10 would read again 💛"

"Loved it when I was a teen."

"the ending made me kind of upset, but makes you think about relationships and how your first love teaches you lessons you’ll use for the rest of your life, and how forever may not be forever after all…"
