First Love Novella

I always enjoy LJ Shen's books, and this novella really made for a great listen. Unlike the authors many other excellent books, this novella is semi-autobiographical and tells the story of the author's first love. This novel captures so vividly the hopes, fears and world of a teenager around the turn of the millennium. I felt oddly pulled into reminiscing about that time, but also reflecting on my own youth, and those things we have hangups about.

This is the story of Lara and Alex. How they meet, how they spar, how they grow, and how they fall in love. A dream of a book for me, real and fun, honest and full of youthful spirit. I recommend to lovers of YA/ NA fiction.

I thought the narrator was excellent, she really drew me in.

nice

easy listening.

wasn't a fan of the cliche vegan stereotyping and the whole push of anemic can't be vegan bull. etc. but otherwise a fair time pass for work

Couldn’t get into it

I absolutely adore LJ Shen. I discovered her book The Kiss Thief only 5 weeks ago and have since read it twice along with the 4 hot head books & midnight blue which I loved! BUT I just couldn’t get into this one. I’ve tried a few times to come back to it but something just isn’t for me. No idea what, it just didn’t grip me like the others.

A great novella!

I love this author's writing and could feel the reality of her words. So Bittersweet! It took me right back to those good old days of trials and tribulations of first love!

ya romance

Loved this cute teen story. It was beautifully written with tons of funny and cute moments. It was long enough to tell the story and I couldn't put it down. A real feel good book.

teenage love story

There is nothing wrong with this book. It's just a pretty average teenage love story. How kids mold themselves to fit other's.

Teenage kicks right through the night

This is a love story with punk attitude that is both angst ridden and endearing. Heart felt excitement of first love, first kisses and confused emotions. Teenage kicks are hard to beat. Five stars.

It was amazing!

I thought that the book was really good and I didn’t dislike anything about it. I think people in secondary schools and colleges students would like it.

Great listen

Was sceptical about the teenage element, but it was written so well and the performance was great! Off to read more by the author now…

A trip on memory lane

Funny and a good ending - like life itself, unpredictable and real. The girl was funny and witty and a good liar- aka teenager
I loved the book
