Review of First Day of Forever
This is a book composed of short stories. Each of these stories is unique in their own way. Only similar thing between stories is they each involve a boy and a girl and falling in love.
Each story shows some problem the couple has. Such as money, parents, or one of them are attached to someone else. It shows how couples have tiring times and hard ships, but there are the few couples who have it easy, there are no problems every thing is right. Each of these stories has an interesting and exiting way they work out. For instance the author gives the details of the guy picking up the girl stopping ever so often to recap back to something they learned in their childhood. As they go on with the date it stops again a talk of him learning how to treat a girl on a date and his disaster of taking a girl to a burger joint for the prom. As it returns to them getting seated at the restaurant they recap to her past of her friend telling her she was pregnant, and asking for advice if she should have abortion or not. As their date concludes it has just gone through some tiring parts of each person's life and how their date shows how they had learned from that and changed. Each of these stories were well written, in so much that it was as if he placed himself in the shoes of a young college couple fully relating to couples today. So this book can help and inspire couples to do right.
This book has a standard of how well it is written. Almost just like the charters have a standard for their future husband or wife. I think his high standard is to reach the children and young people of today. He might do this to show them there are people who fall in love without having a baby first and they fall in love sometimes when times are hard and they might be low on money. So instead of giving up they find any possible way to save money so they could afford their wedding.96
I personally would love someone who would go that far to find money so we could be married. But, even though each story is a enchanting love tale that relates to the youth it also relates to the youth so much that he uses some of the youths slang, this turns out to be good but also bad at the same time. It is good because it makes the story more realistic and the more realistic it is the more youth are able to relate it to their lives. But it is written so the youth can under stand it. A few parts could confuse some one who is older or even some youth or all youth. They parts are some of the talk where they person is talking to someone and explains something of a rumor and who they heard if from. For intense, Mary told me, who heard it from Johnny, who heard it from Sue, who heard it from Billy...and on. A gossip chain was explained a few times in this book, but if you were reading as fast as I was you would be stopped and puzzled, then go and reread that section over again. Because I was so interested with the small story I was reading fast and when I got there it slowed my reading down, I also had to read over it a couple times to under stand it. But I was so interested in the story it was a small nuisance I over looked. I also wish each story would go on. He stop each one to make your own idea of what their wedding looked like but personally like it when the author ends it that way you see what he had in mind.
Other than a few confusing parts this story is ver intriguing and captivating, each small tale you read it is harder and harder to put the book down. You will want to read it till it's over than read it again. This book is great and promotes kids to be careful and not do things you will regret, such as getting pregnant in high school. As one of the girls in the book her friend's life was ruined because she had gotten pregnant in high school. So this book will inspire youth to do right and think about their decisions. This is a book you must read.

This book contains many wonderful stories for youth.
I realy enjoyed reading the stories in this book. I would recomend this book to and LDS youth, who has questions about dating, friends, or just about life. This book of short stories gives many different ideas and perspectives about dating. It also deals with just everyday problems of making friends and keeping them.

Ashley and Jen
I found this book VERY good. I like to read books dealing with the subject matter of Anorexia and Bulimia since I too struggle with those disorders.

This book is well written and really shows the complexity of the disease. The main character Ashley is truely troubled. Her character is written honestly and with an intensity that's refreshing. The disease is not pretty coated and shows you how the disease can take over your life and make you only focous on the disease and not every day occurences. Though I am not super religous I find that books dealing with this subject and religon do some of the best jobs in getting into a character's mind who has anorexia or bulmia. I also really recomend When is Perfect, Perfect Enough it's number six in a series called "Flag Pole Girls" That book is one of my favorites.

A Good Book!
This book is good. It talks about the concerns some struggles that Young Latter Day Saints may have. It talks about battling problems and coming out the better person.
