About First Love
The terrifying, all-consuming experience of loving someone for the first time — clumsy confessions, overanalyzed text messages, and feelings too big for the person carrying them. Often but not always set in adolescence.
First love is the only love with no map, and readers cherish the rawness of characters feeling everything at full volume with no defenses built yet.
Common scenarios: A first kiss ruined by nerves and immediately retried, or a character realizing they're in love mid-conversation and forgetting how sentences work.
