17 First Kisses by Rachael Allen
4.0
I went into this expecting something light and fun. I got so much more, and I loved it!
I love Claire/CJ’s character. Even though things are a mess at home she has a confidence that I don’t think I could muster. She manages to keep her grades up, be there for her family, and be there for her friends when they allow her to. She struggles with moral, and friendship, problems throughout the book. I think that is something all teens can relate to. I know I did when I was that age.
I love all the topics covered in this book. Some of the issues aren’t direct to CJ’s story, but they are highlighted on, and I think the way things were handled was great. I also love the friendship aspect. I know when I was in school there was always some kind of jealousy among friends. It could range from being friends with other people, boys, and even academics. CJ learns a lot about all these facets throughout the book. There were some situations that had my in tears. Not just because I could connect, but because as a mom, some of these things were similar to things that I’ve experienced.
I highly recommend this to all readers. 17 First Kisses shows the importance of family, friends, and figuring out who you are. Loved every minute of it.
