carrieabuente 's review for:
A First Time for Everything
by K.L. Walther
When Madeline's older brother gets engaged, she unexpectedly finds herself as a part of the wedding party. During a game of truth or dare with the other bridesmaids, Mads reveals that she has never been on a date. The bridesmaids then make it their mission to set Mads up with someone for the wedding. Throughout the course of several disastrous dates, Mads keeps bumping into her former classmate Marco.
3.5 stars.
This is one of those YA books that I know I would have been obsessed with as a teen. The romance was super cute and Marco was such a good character. I also enjoyed the subplot of Mads trying to bond with the future sister-in-law that she's never really liked.
The main issue I had with this book was Katie. I know that Mads doesn't like her, so we're not supposed to like her either. But I actually think the author made her too unlikeable, and then the redemption wasn't enough. Every time she showed up in the story I was annoyed and it took me out of it.
I also think the Taylor Swift song title references were getting to be too much, but I recognize that this is YA, so I'll give it a pass.
The narration was excellent!
Thank you to NetGalley and Tantor audio for the ALC!
