First Loves Are Hard to Forget

Eastbrooke Academy, Book 4

De: Jillian Dodd

Narrado por: Maren McGuire

After arriving back at school from Johnny’s weekend of no rules, Arrington and Augie have a stronger relationship than ever. The schemers who tried to break them up failed, and Arrington now knows there are some people who’d like to witness their downfall.

But with a full class schedule, dance practice, and other commitments, Arrington has more important things to worry about.

Not only is she helping her friend, Laurent, unwrap a family secret that could shake up the political world, she’s also staring in a music video alongside the flirty Beckham. And when they kiss at sunset and act out the passion of friends turning into lovers—on camera for all to see—things starting feeling a little too real.
If that weren’t enough, her volatile relationship with her former best friend, Branson, is a confusing mess. The walls he’s put up between them seem to be crumbling one minute and built up stronger the next. But things just don’t add up. And she knows if she could just figure out what’s going on with him, it could change everything.

On the edge

I listened to all 4 books before writing my review. At the end of each one the next one pick right up where it left off. which is awesome because I have never seen any other series do that and I appreciate for not being confused about what was going on in one after the other.

This story has me rooting for Lainey and Beckham. It seems like he has loved her for so long and keeps trying to tell her, show her and all she does is think of him as a fuck boy because he has never been serious about anyone. But the reason for that is because none of them have been Lainey. Lainey's friend Brandson who at the end of book 4 she finds out that his mom is dying is just lost and doesn't know what to do.

I do did not like the way this book ended on a cliffhanger. Now we will just have to wait and see if there is a 5h one.

Love the storyline and the narration was fabulous. You could just feel what each person was going through.

Great continuation of the story with a eye opening ending

Jillian Dodd’s book are an excellent combination of first loves and best friends and ever changing relationships. Readers will fall in love with the all the characters. She describes everything in such vivid detail and readers can feel the emotions of the characters. I can’t wait to continue reading the rest of this series to see how it unfolds. I routing for Lane to end up with Beckham.
