First Love

Ratings:

At the beginning of the book it started off kind of slow and the author repeatedly jumped from Amani Shepard's POV to her mother, Olivia's POV. It was kind of confusing at first since you would get used to one person's speech/thoughts and then it would change to another character. As I continued reading the book it got really interesting and I just couldn't put it down! The kind of relationship issues Amani had to deal with her boyfriend, Marley "Miracle Man" Jamison and mother is what made the book seem like it was so realistic. It made me realize how demanding the flesh can be over what your spirit wants when it comes to abstinence. I would definitely recommend this book to every teenage girl or boy.
