I'm giving it 2 stars because I was interested enough to know what happened, so I kept reading. Not my usual choice of book though. ( )

I read this years ago and enjoyed it, but didn't write a personal review at that time, but I do remember that I enjoyed it.

FROM AMAZON: "The Wonder Years" meets "The Notebook" in this true-life coming-of-age love story. If you remember your first love, your first date and your first kiss, then Feels Like the First Time will take you back to those moments. Shawn met Dawn when she moved in next door to him in 1976. Soon, they were best friends, then became each other's first loves. Shawn was outgoing but bookish, Dawn, beautiful and reserved. Their storybook romance came to an end when Dawn's parents forbid them to see each other. They didn't - for 27 years, until a chance meeting swept them up in a storm of emotions and memories. Can the sweet bond of first love not only survive, but flourish? Feels Like the First Time lets you share in the magic of young love in small town America in the 1970s. No matter how much the world changes, some things – timeless music, high school dances, making out in the backseat of a Chevy Vega, and of course true love – will always remain the same. ( )

I read this book after reading "Both Sides Now" but I have to say I loved them both. This is Shawn's view of events of how he fell in love with Dawn when they were teenagers and then reunited after he had been missing her for over 20 years. I can't put my finger on why, but it's a great story. ( )
