First Love is Overrated

This summer these two broken souls discover if your second love can make you forget your first

Growing up, the Morelli brothers were close

Their kinship sinks deeper than the Titanic the summer they both fall for the same girl. Zakiah always felt Iliana Kaplan's heart belonged to him. All along, it has been their story, until fate removed the blindfold.

Everything falls apart when Zakiah realizes Iliana will never give him her whole heart. This time, the middle brother, Elijah, won't be able to repair the damage. A rift is torn amid all of them, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Two years later, when love comes knocking on his door, Zakiah strays from his motto. He can't pretend the connection he feels with Glory Glover isn't real. He just can't afford to fall victim to love again—already learned that lesson the hard way.

Life drops the other shoe. When his dad reveals who his betrothed is, there's no running from what fate has in store. Can your second love make you forget your first? Zakiah must decide if love only exists in fairytales. No matter what choice he makes, it won't be easy to find what's truly his to behold.

What happened in the spring might've made him forget his summertime dreams, but reality rarely has a silver lining.

Review

Young love oftentimes seems so incredibly big and all-consuming for young adults. This was a wonderful look at the power of young love.

With so many similar stories, think TSITP and MLWTWB... I love the twist Truly puts on hers. There are so many extenuating circumstances in this one. Different and deep themes along the way that will pull at your heartstrings.

B. Truly does a great job weaving serious life events with humor. This helps to build an active and engaging text for the aforementioned audience.

A great production with a narrator who embodies the characters and the emotions flawlessly.
