Very few first-love stories are written as well or as beautifully as this one.  There is no HEA, but there is the hope of one and, were I the heroine, it's one I'd be willing to wait for.  A few days from her 18th birthday, Tessa meets Kevin, a badly scarred student newly transferred to her school.  Though she risks censorship from her 'friends' and peers, Tessa strikes up a conversation and what unfurls between them quickly becomes the friendship of a lifetime.  This is a truly wonderful and passionate true-love story between two teenagers coming of age.  It is tender and sweet, sensual when and where appropriate (after legal age has obtained) and I would recommend it without reservation to anyone who enjoys a good romance.  Red Phoenix has proved him/herself to be a master in his/her field.
