About this item
In "First Love," Lilly Dancyger delves into the profound connections between women, treating friendships as the love stories they truly are. Following the tragic murder of her cousin in their adolescence, Dancyger's perspective on friendship takes on a new urgency, leading her to explore the depths of female bonds with a keen eye.

Each essay in this poignant collection is rooted in a close female friendship from Dancyger's own life, providing a lens through which to examine cultural norms surrounding identity, desire, and the ways women support each other in a world that often seeks to diminish them. Drawing from literature, pop culture, and personal experience, Dancyger crafts a narrative that spans from the intensity of adolescent friendships to the complexities of chosen family and motherhood.

Through references ranging from fairy tales to true crime, from Anas Nin to Tumblr's "sad girls," Dancyger creates a rich tapestry of female experience. She highlights the ways in which women carve out space for each other and challenge societal expectations, while also acknowledging the inherent risks and vulnerabilities of opening oneself up to love and connection.

While acknowledging that friendship cannot shield us from the world's dangers, Dancyger celebrates the resilience and support found in these essential bonds. "First Love" is a moving tribute to the power of friendship to sustain us through life's trials and tragedies, reminding readers that love, in all its forms, is always worth the risk.
