Publisher's summary
We thought we could run away from the world.
A mad adventure across the country
We thought we could escape time.
And for a while - we did....
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....
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Growing up, the three of us were friends. He was the nerd. I was the playboy. She was the beauty. Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits. He lied. I went off to college, and he got the girl. Amber never knew how I felt. They were together for years - before he broke her heart. Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch. When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.

Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life - or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. Or that she's landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she's being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth - a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis.

It’s been six years since Pen Calloway watched her best friends walk out of her life. And through the birth of her daughter, the death of her father, and the vicissitudes of single motherhood, she has never stopped missing them. Pen, Cat, and Will met on their first day of college and formed what seemed like a magical and lifelong bond, only to see their friendship break apart amid the realities of adulthood. When, after years of silence, Cat - the bewitching, charismatic center of their group - e-mails Pen and Will with an urgent request to meet at their college reunion, they can’t refuse.

Story
Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close, the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

It was okay
I love James Patterson and I have read a book of his in a while. I loved all his other love stories and those this one would be good as well. It was good, but it wasn't great.

Sweet but predictible
What made the experience of listening to First Love the most enjoyable?
The not often seen/heard of people putting someone else first and not wanting or expecting anything else in return.
What was one of the most memorable moments of First Love?
When they went to Robinson's house and the family welcomed her in as one of their own.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Robinson said he was just kissing the older lady because he didn't want to be rude.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
At certain points I didn't want to put it down but it didn't just grab me from the start.
Any additional comments?
Love reading Patterson books and am always amazed how good they are even out of his "norm" crime thrillers.

Too Close To Home - Thumbs Up
This book hit very close to home and was very unexpected. I cant't go into detail without spoiling and I won't do that that. But, both the place and subject matter resonate. Don't read this book without a tissue handy. The formula has been done before; but the way in which the novel unfolds is rather unique and there are numerous surprises and very nice moments. It leaves your wondering and feeling. Give it a listen.

James Patterson where are you?
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I got this book to listen to on a long car trip and did not really have any other option at the time or I might have turned it off. It really reminded the people in the car of a poorly written The Fault in Our Stars.
What could James Patterson and Emily Raymond have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The book seemed way too unrealistic. If they had not taken so many liberties with the crime spree it might have been a little better. Also, his parents were a little to accepting of the spontaneous return home. I'm not sure if this book was supposed to be a young adult novel or not, but it definately belongs in that category and should be marketed directly to young adults (aka teenagers).
What about Lauren Fortgang’s performance did you like?
Lauren Fortgang made the book tolerable. She is a talented reader.
Do you think First Love needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I am not really interested in the further tales of Axi.
Any additional comments?
I wish James Patterson would contribute a little more of his style to some of the books he is lending his name to.

An OK Y.A. story
Would you be willing to try another one of Lauren Fortgang’s performances?
Maybe...if she doesn't try to be a teenage boy again. It wasn't convincing and distracting at first.
Was First Love worth the listening time?
Sure, it passed my time appropriately while I was traveling.
Any additional comments?
This is very much a Young Adult / Teenage novel. Not sure what I was expecting?? It was OK, nothing special, a nice little story.
