First Love by James Patterson and Emily Raymond

I have read many mysteries and thrillers written by James

Patterson. This author also writes stories in several other

genres. This one is a romance called First Love.

First Love is about two teenagers, Axi and Robinson, who meet

while getting chemo. Axi's little sister passed away from

cancer. Her mother had a difficult time dealing with the loss

and decided to leave the family. Axi's father can only deal

with all of this by drinking. Axi wants to get away from all

of this so she comes up with the idea of going on the road

with many stops throughout various states.

Axi realizes she cannot go on this trip by herself. She tells

Robinson about her idea and talks him into going along. Many

things happen along the way like stealing cars and doing

things they really should not be doing. Axi and Robinson have

so much fun on the trip and they really enjoy their time

together. It doesn't take too long to realize they have fallen

in love.

Their enjoyment is short lived as the illness begins to take a

toll on Robinson. What will happen to these two teenagers who

are so happy and in love?

As we all know, a first love is very special. This is the

story of two teenagers who fall in love but face some very

difficult times ahead. First Love shows the reader how

important love is when you are going through something very

difficult in your life. This is a story of two young kids who

seem to mature right before your eyes.

First love is a quick read. The book is well written and the

authors do a wonderful job with the character portrayal. The

readers will feel like they know the characters as they read

the book. It's not one of those "I can't put this book down"

stories but it is one that makes you want to keep on reading

to see what happens. The story is very funny in places and

there are parts of it that will make you shed a tear. If you

have read any books by Nicholas Sparks, Mr. Patterson is right

up there with the best of the romance writers. Readers young

or old will enjoy this book. This might not have all the

action of a James Patterson thriller but First Love is a story

that will remain with you for a long time.
