Five stars." --Jennifer Garner "Could not stop flipping the pages... people are going to love to have this in their book club." --Reese Witherspoon "Gripping" --People "[Dave] provides plenty of twists and emphasizes the love that binds her characters together, even the bad ones. How far will they go to keep their families safe?" -- New York Times Book Review "Dave's ability to chart her characters' emotional geography--mapping love and loss--and the way she explores their intimate connections help explain her popularity; propulsive pacing doesn't hurt, either." -- Vogue "Dave's embrace of tension instead of action turns the novel into an effective study of suspense. Her taut prose matches the story, with moments of emotional poignancy... The First Time I Saw Him offers a sense of completion to the characters of its predecessor and provides answers... a tense story, but a surprisingly tender one." -- Washington Post Biographical Note: Laura Dave is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Last Thing He Told Me and Eight Hundred Grapes.

The kind of book you inhale like your favorite snack--you keep reaching for just one more handful until suddenly, the box is empty. I couldn't stop. My heart was in my throat!" --Woman's World "I was captivated by the development and growth of the relationship between Hannah and Bailey... their love and concern for each other are evident no matter what." --Times Ledger "It's not often we find a story with this much emotional depth, as well as deeply fleshed out characters whom we come to care for.
