An extraordinary portrait of true love that will move anyone who has a first love story of their own. Axi Moore is a "good girl": She studies hard, stays out of the spotlight, and doesn't tell anyone how all she really wants is to run away from it all. The only person she can tell is her best friend, Robinson--who she also happens to be madly in love with. When Axi spontaneously invites Robinson to come with her on an impulsive cross-country road trip, she breaks the rules for the first time in her life. But the adventure quickly turns from carefree to out of control after the teens find themselves on the run from the police. And when Robinson suddenly collapses, Axi has to face the truth that this trip might be his last. A remarkably moving tale very personal to James Patterson's own past, FIRST LOVE is testament to the power of first love--and how it can change the rest of your life.… (más)
This was a great story. It was happy and sad at the same time. I love reading James Patterson's dramas as they are so realistic. In this story 2 teenagers hit the road to complete a "Bucket List" even though that is not what they call it. While reading the book you get a look at the health struggles they have had during their young life. ( )
I have always enjoyed reading Patterson's adult fiction and I was excited to try his new young adult release. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect and was caught emotionally off guard midway through the book when I had to reach for the tissues. I don't want to give anything away, but be sure to read the introduction and have to tissues handy. ( )
Nope did not like both stories at all. I did not care for the characters in First Love and in Sam's Letters to Jennifer there was way too much product placement that I felt I was reading commercials. Did not finish either story.

For Jane - In the fall of 2010, I turned in the outline for First Love to my editor, but the story actually began many years before. I was in love with a woman named Jane Blanchard. One morning we were out for a walk in New York City. Seemingly out of nowhere, Jane suffered a violent seizure. She was sick with cancer for nearly two years after that, then died at a young age. Far too young, Janie, I miss your smile. I hope it lives on in this book, this love story that reminds me of our time together (though I don't remember stealing any cars.) - J.P.

First Love - Okay, I may not be putting myself in the best possible light by admitting this, but let me say right at the start that I was such a straight arrow, such a little do-gooder, that skipping my last two classes that day (AP physics and AP English) made me so insanely, ridiculously jittery that it actually occurred to me this whole crazy plan wasn't going to be worth it.
Sam's Letters to Jennifer - Sam and I are sitting on a mostly deserted beach on Lake Michigan a little north of the Drake Hotel in Chicago.
