4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, March 18, 2003

This review is from: When We First Met (Mass Market Paperback)

When I first read this book earlier this year ... I thought it would be sappy. The title itself is a turn off. There are a few cheesy parts but overall it is a great read. I am the type of person who is easily sick over mushy stuff. I love romance novels but they have to be realistic. I found all of the romantic parts adorable. They were sweet but not overly so. I wish this would be made into a film. It would be one of the few good teen movies. I hope this review was helpful.

This review is from: When We First Met (Mass Market Paperback)

When I first read this book, I HAD to go back and read it again. The story is about how a teenager's world is shattered. She falls in love with this guy who is perfect for her. She later discovers that this guy's last name is Montana and is rlated to the woman who killed her sister in drunnk driving accident. As a matter of fact it is his mother. Their world when they are together is peaceful and calm, while at home, Jenny's family is still coping with death. While reading the book I was thinking will she give up Rob for her family? If you read this book, and I recommend you do, then you will find out the answer to this question.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sticks with you long after you have finished it., November 10, 2001

This review is from: When We First Met (Library Binding)

I first read this book when I was 11 years old (which was 14 years ago) and it has stuck with me ever since. It is about a girl named Jenny whose sister is killed in the beginning of the book when she is hit by a drunk driver. Two years later, Jenny meets a boy at school named Rob and they fall in love. However, they later discover that Rob's mother is the drunk driver who hit Jenny's sister. Jenny struggles with her feelings for Rob and her loyalty to her family (who wants to keep Jenny and Rob apart) as well as loyalty to her sister's memory. This book is exceptionally and realistically written. Although written for the teen market, I think pre-teens and adults would enjoy it as well.
