I am not going to lie—I didn't really enjoy reading this. I found the characters uninteresting and certain scenes irked me. However, I do understand why it is a classic. "First Love" delves into the world of adolescent infatuation. The story is raw, showcasing every emotion one feels when in love. I liked the direction of the book and how it raises points on the line between devotion and obsession. It is an exploration of love that reminds us of how intense love can be. 

Personally, a 1 read for me, but I gave it an extra star because of the points it made (and because I'm feeling kind)

it was... okay..

Okay like ... It's not the book it's me. I can't. I don't really like the characters and I'm not captivated enough by it.

And when I was immersed, I wasn't stable enough for it so.

Moving on. DNF @ 50%
