It had authentic relationships and unique, lively characters who really brought out the best in each other. Too often parents are absent from YA books but Sloane's dad was a huge part of her life. Sloane had such an interesting relationship with her father and I loved how important he was to the story. Along with the friendship and romance, I also loved the family relationships. She didn't really know what she was feeling for Gabe and it was so adorable watching them slowly realize that they actually did like each other. The romance in this book was not exactly the main focus of the story, but it was still a major part of Sloan's life and I was obsessed with the slow build of the romance. Vera was such a vibrant character and I wanted to climb in the book and have her as my own best friend. I loved watching Sloane open up to Vera and Gabe and finding herself actually caring about other people outside of her own family. I mean, the romance was awesome and I loved it, but the main focus of this book was Sloane finally having true friends who would give anything for each other. I've got to say, the winner for me in this book was definitely the friendships. But the moment Sloane finds herself wrapped up with Vera, a social-media guru who loves fiercely and protectively, Sloane discovers what it's like to have true friends and has to learn how to give more of herself than she ever has before. And the last thing she expects is to make any real friends. I adored First and Then and was in the mood for another cute contemporary with characters I couldn't help but fall in love with.Īfter moving to Florida so that her dad could feel 'inspired' to write his next book, Sloane doesn't expect her new school to be any different from her old one. When I saw that Emma Mills had a new YA contemporary coming out, I was beyond excited.
