RE-READ: 8/30/20
This book has brought me nothing but pure joy and laughter. I read this when I was in my senior year of high school and I was able to see myself through Devon. Now I'm a sophomore in college, and nothing has changed. I'm still like Devon, an introverted people pleaser who has sadly still not taken much interest in clubs and extracurricular activities and has not found something I am truly good at.

Truly one of the best YA contemporaries I've read. Thank you Emma Mills for writing ...more

Actual rating : 2.5 stars (because Ezra)

▶ In the end, I got the impression that First & Then was trying to address way too many issues without really giving them the time of a day.

Cut off the Darcy-ish romance slooowly built that I genuinely enjoyed (with the important exception of one of the most anticlimactic ending I've ever read - Ugh, just ugh), the reader makes its way in a widespread confusion :

She's a talented writer because she's SO incredibly smart, but this book had no drive. There was no real plot to it, and it almost felt as if the wrong person was telling the story.

Of course, with that comes very high expectations, but for once the rumors are true: First & Then really does fulfill that appealing combination. It’s a celebration of our high school years and football, of romance and modern day Jane Austen. While it’s not perfect, it’s definitely a book that made me grin and swoon, a When you tell me a book is Friday Night Lights meets Pride and Prejudice, well, there’s no way I can resist. Football and Jane Austen? Yes, please! I’ll be the first one in line. Of course, with that comes very high expectations, but for once the rumors are true: First & Then really does fulfill that appealing combination. It’s a celebration of our high school years and football, of romance and modern day Jane Austen. While it’s not perfect, it’s definitely a book that made me grin and swoon, a book that I keep thinking about even weeks later.

Devon is our heroine, a girl who loves Jane Austen and wishes she could live in the pages of a classic romance. She’s a senior in high school, directionless, feeling as our Austen heroines do, that she’s fairly unremarkable but content with the way things are. Like Lizzy Bennett before her, she has a fierce wit and a great sense of humor, but she can also make snap judgments and has a lot of growing to do. For years now, she’s been living in a two-person bubble with her best friend, Cas, not really letting anyone else in or putting herself out there. It’s at the start of this book, though, that things are about to change. I absolutely loved Devon’s character arc; it’s subtle, the way she slowly, almost without her even knowing or acknowledging it, begins to give herself and other people a chance. As much as she would have liked it to, her life can never just stay the same, things change and people grow apart, but maybe what’s on the other side is better. I think, more than anything, she realizes this, and what a wonderful end to her story she’s given because of it.

While Devon’s growth is the main focus of First & Then, it’s her newfound relationships that give the book its spark. Devon is used to being an only child, but then her distant cousin, Foster, comes to live with her family and the dynamic completely changes. She finds him annoying at first, not understanding his awkward quirks, his honest mouth, or his bottled emotions. She doesn’t know quite what to do with him. But it’s football that eventually brings them closer together, and why she finally gives him a real chance. It turns out that the awkward kid is also a natural at kicking a football, and it gives Foster a confidence he never had before. You guys, I adored Foster. He is a sweetheart and someone I just wanted to put in my pocket for safekeeping. The relationship between him and Devon is rocky at first, but it turns into something that is solid and true. I loved watching their relationship unfold, especially with football as a backdrop.

Then, of course, there’s the romance. Let me go ahead and say right away that there is not a love triangle. Like other Austen heroines, Devon is somewhat clueless about her love life, but it’s actually endearing to see her fumble around a little bit. She’s had a longstanding crush on Cas for years now, but he’s never seen her as more than a friend or even sister. I was worried that she’d be pining for him the whole book, but it’s not that way at all. I thought it was sad but lovely, the way Cas started fading from her life, making a way for someone infinitely better for our heroine. Which brings me to Ezra, who has become one of my favorite book boys this year. He’s the Mr. Darcy of the book, aloof and misunderstood, but he gradually works his way into Devon’s heart. I love that he was both a football star but also shy, that there’s more to him than meets the eye. The romance between him and Devon is sweet and with just enough butterfly-making moments. To return to our Jane Austen parallel, there’s always that moment in classic romances when the hero declares his feelings, and let me say that Ezra delivers one of the swooniest declarations I’ve read. My heart was absolutely bursting.

I’m so happy that a book about football and Pride and Prejudice didn’t disappoint. While it stays relatively simple and the emotions could have dug deeper, Devon’s character growth and her relationships with Foster and Ezra were more than satisfying. What a fantastic debut by Emma Mills; I can’t wait for more!

I received an ARC of this book by trade; this did not affect my review in any way.

You'll probably know by now that any book that has anything to do with Pride and Prejudice will be bound to catch my attention, at one point or another.

I had heard about First & Then a while ago, via goodreads, but never got around to getting a copy until I discovered by library has ebooks that you can request, and this was top of my wishlist.

First & Then is a sort of modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice, taking place in a prestigious school. The main character, Devon, is just trying to cope with school, and get around to the idea of having a new pseudo-sibling, with her estranged cousin having to move in. She denies they're related whenever he's around at school, because he's a bit of an outsider, and spends most of the time dealing with her crush on her best friend, Cas. Then comes the super popular Ezra, who's face is all over the school after he's signed up for all American football. They are the only two seniors in the freshman PE class, so end up being thrust together more often than not. Ezra comes off as a pompous ass at first, but once his true nature comes out, him and Devon grow closer and closer.

I loved Devon and Ezra - they were the perfect Lizzie and Darcy figures that you could ask for in an adaptation. Devon had the snarkiness immediately reminiscent of Lizzie Bennett, and though she didn't have any siblings like Lizzie, the relationship she had with her cousin, Foster, started off like Mr Collins, but soon became similar to her relationship with Jane. Ezra was Mr Darcy to a T. The shyness and aloofness was there from the beginning, but when you discovered the truth about his family, including his interactions with the Wickham and Georgiana-esque characters, you realise why he comes off this way, and he eventually breaks out of his shell with Devon and Foster.

Their romance was extremely swoony, but my only issue was that there wasn't enough of it. It was like the romance in the original story, with glances and touches here and there, but nothing really of substance until right at the end. The book just seemed to end sharply, like I find a lot of contemporary YAs these days. I think if there had been a few more chapters, with a but more of a conclusion, the book could've been much better, but even so, I loved it anyway.

I'd definitely recommend this book, even to people who know nothing about the Pride and Prejudice story. If you know the original tale, you'll be able to work out who's who early on, but even so, the plot twists and storyline is still unique, due to the modern setting of it. ...more

Rarely is a novel ever so utterly perfect that I've fallen in love from the very first page. First and Then was nothing short of immaculate and one of the loveliest contemporaries I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

UTTER. PERFECTION.

It follows the story of Devon, the girl, not the luncheon meat. She's an only child with doting parents and no real direction throughout her senior year of school. Then fourteen year old Foster comes to stay. Oh Foster, he was such a breath of fresh air. Adorably naive and so incredibly lovely, he's been abandoned by his mother and taken in by his aunt and uncle to restore a sense of normalcy and family. Since his father died, life with his neglectful mother has left him unemotional and mentally absent. It takes a significant part of First and Then for Devon to finally accept Foster as a part of her newly formed family unit but their relationship although tentative, was beautiful to watch them both grow as individuals and as new siblings.

Hello Ezra Lynley. Ezra is the golden boy of football and a new recruit, seemingly untouchable yet takes an interest in Foster in the shared physical education class along with Devon. Although Foster is oblivious, the tension between Devon and Ezra is delicious and he begins helping Foster learn the basics of touch football and the two form a close bond. I know nothing about American football but First and Then didn't delve too deeply into the technical side of the sport thankfully, but more so the team comradery and etiquette of the game.

The bond between Ezra and Foster began as a worship type relationship and although beyond the college scouts and attention, Ezra is never comfortable with the admiration. He isn't the typical high school senior and is determined not to let his status define him. He's quiet, reserved and gives off a tortured impression. It's Devon who is yet to fall under his spell, she's in love with her best friend in Cass, who as the storyline moved forward really surprised me and I felt I never truly had a sense of who he was beyond how Devon had seen him.

The underlying storyline of acceptance and learning to trust was beautiful and lovingly written. I laughed, I cried and was utterly smitten with First and Then and in particular, Foster. Not often does a book come along that makes you feel how special it is to delve into the fictional worlds of authors, First and Them made me feel giddy as I turned the final page and gave me one hell of a book hangover. ...more
