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?]]> 37743 32 746503 book 1976 Forever total:5979|5:1451|4:1955|3:1844|2:549|1:180| 5979 21885 7716 708 12942 3.78 104667 6676 24721243 921689 37743 033039780X 9780330397803 534 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979462m/37743.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979462s/37743.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37743.Forever 3.66 5105 1976 1 9 false Tue Jun 17 11:37:08 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 11:42:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 8705273 520752 37743 033039780X 9780330397803 534 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979462m/37743.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168979462s/37743.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37743.Forever 3.66 5979 1976 2 13 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.
