Fresh Fiction Review

First Love
James Patterson

Reviewed by Shellie Surles
Posted May 24, 2014

Young Adult

Axi and Robinson are best friends. Axi is the perfect student and Robinson is a drop out. One day the perfect good girl Axi decides that she and Robinson are going to go on a nationwide road trip. They begin their trip with Robinson stealing a motorcycle and it just gets crazier from there. These two kids have both suffered great loss, Axi lost her sister to cancer and then her mother left. Robinson never talks about his family. As they travel around the country their love for each other grows and readers will discover insights not only into the characters but themselves as well. Both of the characters are wonderful and you can't help but love their story. A warning about FIRST LOVE, don't read it in public unless you're ok with crying in front of strangers. James Patterson has hit another home run with FIRST LOVE. You won't want to put it down and at the end of the story when you have used up your box of Kleenex you'll wonder how people fail to live life to its fullest every day.

SUMMARY

Axi Moore is a "good girl": She studies hard, stays out of the spotlight, and doesn't tell anyone that what 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 impulsively invites Robinson to come with her on an unplanned 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...

A remarkably moving tale with its origins in 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.
