I had a lot of thoughts about this book.  The POV in present tense third person was strange for me.  It took me about a dozen or so pages to get beyond that and to truly begin to enjoy the story.  It remained a distraction, but my interest in the plot overruled that quickly enough. I became lost to the plot and continued to turn the pages until I practically read this one non-stop.It's a sweet story, following the high school life of Grace as she stumbles her way through maturity and first love. I had a lot of trouble relating to her at first until I realized this is a teenage girl and thought back to how awkward and difficult those days were.Man, oh man, how to describe the sex without providing a spoiler?  For this to be this author's first novel, I'm impressed!  It was good and detailed without becoming vulgar, which is exactly what I want when I read a novel of this variety.  I want to feel the romance, not like I'm reading verbal porn.  I enjoyed it greatly, but the one I enjoyed most was near the end of the novel :)
