Description

A vivid and nuanced collection of essays that treats women's friendships as the love stories they truly are. Lilly Dancyger explores the bonds between women, from adolescent best friendship to mothering and chosen family. In this striking collection, Dancyger weaves personal experience with literature and pop culture to form a kaleidoscopic story of life told through friendships. She examines cultural assumptions about identity and desire, and the ways women create space for each other in a world that often seeks to constrain them. Through her essays, she reminds us that love is always worth the risk, and that it's our friends who will help us survive when tragedy strikes. First Love is a powerful exploration of what it means to love and be loved by others, and how these essential bonds can shape our lives in profound ways.
