Unforgettable - By: Hazel, 06 Aug 2008 
I actualy love this book, even thought its over 30 years since its been writen, the issuesin the book havn't chanaged. I can completely relate to what Kath goes through.
I so wanted it to work out between them, & it all be okay, but thats not how real life works, & its not how the book is.
But, saying that , its not like the book had one of them horrible soppy ending , its just how real life is.
A definite read for anyone 12 upwards, & i only say 12 upwards because some of the scenesin the book are a little explicit.
A timeless book, well wortth reading.
A bit too simplistic - By: Livvi, 03 Jul 2008 
This book was alright. That's the best I can say about it. I read it from cover to cover relatively quickly but I don't think that has anything to do with the "captivating" story line, more to do with the fact that it is very short & very, very simply written.
The story line was okish but Katherine fell for Micheal much quicker than it would happenin normal life which made it seem pretty unrealistic. The explicit nature of the book was actually quite well written, asin it was quite realistic, though the characters were a bit flat & uninteresting.
I don't know, if you're looking for something to read really quickly then this book would be pretty good for you but otherwise I wouldn't recomend it, unless you want to learn more about the nature of sex. If that's the case then you'd probably find this book quite helpful actually. I still didn't really enjoy it.
Mildly interesting, a great eye-opener - By: Jennifer x, 07 Jun 2008 
Well basically if you already didn't know, this is the story of a 17/18 year old girl, Katherine, who believes she has fallenin love, the novel explores her feelings towards sex & follows her through the journey of losing her virginity.
WARNING explicit detail
ahahaha
For me the plot moved a little too fast, covering over a yearin this short book. I didn't really connect with many of the characters, espically Kath's boyfriend, Michael. I couldn't understand how she could possibly bein love with this boy as i felt no chemistry between the couple, but am i forgetting that the book is trying to point out that love comes with maturity?
I would recomend this book to young teenagers as i think they could relate to the situations faced. It is a real eye opener to sex but potraiedin a subtle way.
Not my cup of tea but i'm sure others would enjoy it.
Tactifully done.... - By: Browneyes01, 02 May 2008 I think that Judy Blume deserves a medal for this book. It is not sexually explicit, & explains sexin a way it should to a teenager target audience. Sex is not something dirty, it is a natural, human instinct, & I think this teaches teenagers about sexin a responsible way. I bought this book as a teenager, & had to hide it from my mum & dad. They never mentioned sex or periods to me, apart from giving me one book when I started asking questions. This book did nothing to inform me about anything other than the physical side, Judy Blume very cleverly explains everything from the physical side of a sexual relationship to the emotional. She makes sure that the characters know about contraception & how to use it properly. If parents are embarrassed to talk to their kids about sex, then buy them this book, it will help them tremendously. I am nowin my 30's I don't have kids, but if I ever do, I will make sure they understand relationships fully, & feel comfortable coming to me if they had issues. This is all thanks to Judy Blume.
A book you'll remember for the rest of your life - By: traceyr1972, 25 Jan 2008 I read this book way backin 1986 when I was 14 years old, & I've never forgotten it. It explores 'first love'in such a beautiful but honest way - when you really do believe that love is forever & nothing else matters. I still have the same book & wouldn't hesitate to give it to my daughter to read & treasure... as I do.
