Why read it?
1 author picked How to Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of my all-time favorite novels, How to Love is a deeply affecting story full of soaring highs and heartbreaking lows.

How to Love is an unflinching and beautifully-written emotional rollercoaster, and a must-read for fans of contemporary young adult romance.
From Katy's list on the magic (and angst) of first love.
