New perspective.By Dusty MillerI like Meg Tilly's stuff, but this is a bit thin in terms of the human complexities. Life is thicker than this. But it is a true and rarely seen perspective from the eyes of a twelve year old. Worthwhile.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What a let down!!! Just like most young ladies first times!By CarlaThat's it?! Just like my first time. Ended too soon. Not what I expected or hoped for from Meg Tilly. Haley and Lynn are best friends. When Lynn meets Chad, a player several years older, Haley feels left out. She tries to be happy for her friend, but when her mother's new boyfriend starts making unwanted advances, Haley finds she has no one to tell. Not wanting to upset her mother's happiness and finding that Lynn is drifting away, Haley has to face her tormentor alone and face up to some very hard truths. From School Library JournalGrade 8 UpAll Haley would like to do is enjoy her junior year of high school with her friend Lynn, who has just bought her first car. However, Lynn's new boyfriend, Chad, ends up taking Haley's place in Lynn's life and passenger seat. With Haley trapped at home, she finds it difficult to avoid her mom's lecherous boyfriend, Larry. One evening, he attacks Haley, and she barely escapes being raped. Her solution is to lock her doors, prompting her mom to think that she is smoking marijuana. To add to Haley's confusion, Lynn is planning to have sex for the first time and needs Haley's help to buy condoms. With her life turned upside down, the teen finds an unexpected ally in Chad's friend Mike. When Haley's mom confronts her about buying condoms, Haley also tells her about Larry's attack. Realistic dialogue and situations characterize this novel. Struggling readers will appreciate the quick pacing and the low reading/high interest level. However, multiple plotlines and an abrupt, unresolved ending are confusing and unsatisfying.H. H.

"Captures the emotions and feelings of sixteen year old girls perfectly...a very good addition to the young adult genre." (Sukee's Book Bites 2008-09-01)"Tilly uses Haley's story as a way of discussing sexual abuse...The dialogue between Haley and her best friend...is indicative of what teens deal with on a daily basis." (VOYA 2008-10-01)"Truly excellent tale...the voice and persona of Haley capture what is so worth cherishing in an adolescent." (Resource Links 2008-10-01)"A lightning-quick read that...will likely provoke some discussion among young people about how to handle difficult situations." (Quill Quire 2008-10- 01)"Fast-paced, with short chapters and high-interest content. Haley's thought process...is heartbreaking." (KLIATT 2008-11-01)"First Time illustrates a dangerous situation in which Haley learns to regret ignoring her instincts...Recommended." (CM Magazine 2008-11-07)"Tilly has written in an immediate, sometimes raw manner." (Times Colonist 2008-11-01)"Tilly accomplishes her goal of getting into a teenager's head in 100 short pages, and the novel is riveting." (Tri State Young Adult Book Committee 2009-01-01)"A fast-paced, intense novel that is sure to keep you guessing and turning its pages...definitely worth a read." (TeensReadToo.com 2009-02-11)"Realistic dialogue and situations characterize this novel. Struggling readers will appreciate the quick pacing and the low reading/high interest level." (School Library Journal 2009-03-01)"Teens will find themselves engrossed in this tale of sexual abuse. Self-examination is just one of the outcomes for those who read this tale. Recommended.' (Library Media Connection 2009-03-01)"Mature readers will sympathize with Haley's difficult situation." (The Horn Book Guide 2008-12-01)"The lack of a sweetly tied up ending is a point in this title's favor, allowing the reader to come up with their own ideas... A possible high/low choice for high school age female readers." (NMRLS Youth Services Book Group 2009-04-01)From the Back Cover"Get off!" I push at him hard, with both hands.
