Wow, I am the first one to review this book, UMMM no pressure. LOL.
Dylan and Gray are very strong characters! This book has so much great life advice in it. Kudos to Katie for such a great imagination and writing ability. I love how Dylan "suffers from creative outbursts!" :)
One paragraph from this book really stuck with me and I relate to it so much in my own life.

First Comes Love is an emotional and beautiful story.
First Comes Love has crawled into my heart and will never leave. For such a tiny book, I had no idea it would make me feel the way that it did while reading it. It’s now days later and I can’t stop thinking about the two main characters.
First Comes Love is a beautiful story about two young teens who discover themselves through one another. Dylan lives in the moment. She doesn’t care what others think about her and she More...

It's hard for me to come up with a good description for First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky. Clearly, the book is about two characters falling in love, but it's so much more than a romance. In fact, I would even say the romance isn't the most important part of the book. It's really more about two characters getting to know each other and themselves.

Well...I just don't know what to think about this. I've been teaching for 30+ years, and I've raised two girls of my own. But I'm new to writing and publishing, even newer to the Young Adult genre. I remember years ago, probably '86 or '87, Fayetteville, Arkansas, was splitting at the seams because someone at the school had selected The Chocolate Wars as required reading for one of the English classes, and I can't remember which. A group of concerned citizens had purchased and entire page in

Despite being Katie Kacvinsky's sophomore novel, First Comes Love is my first time reading her work. Simply put, I loved it. I want to take a few minutes to tell you why.

I'd rate Gray's story as a five, and Dylan's as a three, hence the four...I felt so much more connected to Gray, the angry kid trying to grieve at the same time he's trying to hold his family together. Gray gives up his dream of a college scholarship to play baseball to be with his parents after the sudden death of his twin sister...he gives up so much...he understands pain and grief but he's trapped himself and his heartbroken parents allow him to trap himself. "Pain's like water. It finds

No. Just... no. This book serves one purpose and that is to irritate the hell out of me.
Maybe it's because I don't generally read books that are centered solely on a romance, but this book bored me nearly to tears. I literally could not read more than maybe three pages at a time before I just wanted to fall asleep in the middle of the day, jump off a cliff, and then have a root canal. Seriously.

This book was a surprisingly good read. The author manages to create this completely flight, inquisitive, different character that will give the reader that "Alice in Wonderland" feeling. Dylan is so unique, from how she thinks to how she behaves, much of what she does goes against the grain. Gray is far more resentful, gloomy, and awkward. However, both characters have their great points. Gray will make the reader like him instantly with his true love for Dylan and Dylan will mak

I enjoyed the author's debut, though it had some issues, and may give this one a try...

Seriously? Opposites attract? Am I the only one who hates that saying?
