Is it even bad behavior if it’s not raunchy bad behavior?

"I just found the disclosure of details uncomfortable" -- I thought that was the point of reading/writing. Also, something being Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”ed around is definitely a high honor.

Just left a review on Amazon! I adored First Love, and the bad reviews crack me up (I WANT to read about raunchy bad behavior, come on!).

I just started reading the sample on Amazon and I am riveted. Riveted because I share so many of your experiences, riveted because your choice and order of words makes my heart beat faster - and riveted because I can’t wait to send the book to my first love...since we’re 15 and we’re now 64. Brilliant! I hope to find it in my local book store today for myself - and maybe a couple of others for my other best friends.

Ok - I just finished the first essay - thankfully lying in bed - because it slayed me. So much to say and feel about it.

These negative reviews made me laugh! Thanks for sharing them, and for normalizing them. I just ordered my copy! Excited to read this and leave a review. I always love reading your writing (and learning from you!)

I went and checked Amazon to make sure my review was still there. It is: dctexpoet. Still thinking about the book from time to time. Happy First Birthday!
