Bookroo's summary
Katherine believes her love with Michael is eternal, especially after they share an intimate moment. But a summer apart stirs unexpected emotions for someone new. As Katherine grapples with her heart's shifting desires, she must confront what 'forever' truly means. Is her bond with Michael the love of a lifetime, or just the start of her journey in love? This exploration of first love and its complexities will leave you questioning the nature of true connection.
From the publisher
A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) Is there a difference between first love and true love? Judy Blume’s groundbreaking novel about teen sexuality has a fresh new look. The bed is brass, covered with a patchwork quilt, and “nice and firm,” Michael says, “in case you’re interested.” Katherine is interested. Katherine and Michael are in love, and Katherine knows it’s forever–especially after she loses her virginity to him. But when they’re separated for the summer, she begins to have feelings for another boy. What does this say about her love for Michael? And what does “forever” mean, anyway? Is this the love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love?
