In the book there isn’t really an antagonist but someone who Katherine feels threatening is Elizabeth Hailey, a former lover of Michael. Katherine goes to a New Years party at her friend’s house and encounters a boy she falls in love with, Michael Wagner. Michael also spots Katherine and starts to fall in love with her too.

The more they were together and alone, they start having a sensual relationship.

I think the theme of this book is, when you're young and you fall in love for the first time, just know that your first love might not end up being your last because you meet more people along the way. A symbol in this boo is a necklace that Michael gives to Katherine with her name engraved in front of the bar necklace the word forever in the back indicating that their love will go on forever. This book teaches young girls that it’s ok to wait for the right person and the right time to do certain
