false <![CDATA[Forever . . .]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170984861m/80675.jpg 37743 32 There's a first for everything. When you build up something in your mind -- really imagine it, wish for it -- sometimes, when it actually happens, it doesn't live up to your expectations. True love is nothing like that. Especially not for Katherine and Michael, who can't get enough of each other. Their relationship is unique: sincere, intense, and fun all at the same time. Although they haven't been together all that long, they know it's serious. A whole world opens up as young passion and sexuality bloom. But it's senior year of high school, and there are big changes ahead. Michael and Katherine are destined for another big "first": a decision. Is this the love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love? 746503 book 1976 Forever total:5747|5:1406|4:1895|3:1766|2:510|1:170| 5747 21098 7415 682 1 8 false false Tue Jun 17 11:37:08 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 11:42:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 11 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 05 11:56:07 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 12:12:54 -0800 2007 Everything I Need to Know About Being a Girl I learned from Judy Blume but I guess I was more of a Beverly Cleary kid.
