Review

Debut novelist B.T. Gottfred has written a first time romance that one can not help but fall in love with. Written in alternating perspectives, Carolina and Trevor share their first meeting, the physical exploration of each other's bodies to yes, even the pregnancy scare to the realization that they can live without one another.

Gottfred has a realistic love story that teens can relate to. The plot and character development is outstanding and you feel as if you are part of the relationship as it progresses. Not many books have both the female and make perspective on what is involved in a relationship -- trust, insecurity of the "I Love You", rollercoaster emotions and intimacy. Warning-- there are explicit sexual content. Recommended age group would be grades 10-12.

Overall Book Score: excellent
