Modern Day Romeo and Juliet (without the tradgedy)

Awesome story that revolves around the two main characters Matt and Julie, along with their friends. When Julie goes off to college leaving her high school sweetheart behind, everyone tells her that long distance romances don't work out and to give it up. But she and Matt are determined to stay together for the whole four years, with the support of her new college friends. The stress of college builds on her and she ends up having her first fight with her long distance honey within the first month. On an impulse, he rides out to Ohio from PA, and they spend the night together for the first time. The next day they run off and elope not considering how it would affect both of their lives forever.This book is great for the starry eyed teenager to read. The situations that the newlyweds go thru are very real indeed. Very realistic story!

I thought this book was Excllent!!!!!

I felt this book showed how two people loved each other and didn't let distance stand in the way fo their love for one another. I love it so much that I read all the other books in the series but for richer, for poorer. I got these books at a used books store and was sad to learn that these books are out of print. Is there anyway I could get a copy of for richer or poorer to finish the First Comes Love series by Jennifer Baker? please let me know by emailing me.

A great love story for all people!

I really enjoyed this book and the next three books in the First Comes Love series. It is a great series all about Matt and Julie and their life and love. It is an excellent read.
