Books often let us become the characters as we read, which is the pleasure of reading this novel about first love. You get to relive your own first loveā€”and your own first heartbreak. The feeling with Spencer's book is so intense (and real), it may be a treat to follow it with the film version this February, where young, impassioned, headstrong people, who absolutely aren't you (i.e., Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer...not Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt), fall for each other and try to survive it.
