e il primo bacio, allora Come la Prima Volta vi riporterà indietro a quei momenti. Corre l'anno 1976: Shawn incontra Dawn quando lei si trasferisce nella casa accanto. Ben presto diventano amici per la pelle, poi si innamorano l'uno dell'altra. Shawn è un tipo estroverso, appassionato di libri, Dawn è bella e riservata.

Non lo faranno - per 27 anni, finché un fortuito incontro non li trascina in un vortice di emozioni e di ricordi. Potrà il tenero legame di quel primo amore non soltanto sopravvivere, ma addirittura rafforzarsi? Come la Prima Volta vi farà vivere la magia dell'amore acerbo nell'America degli anni '70.

Su romance de novela terminó cuando los padres de Dawn les prohibieron volver a verse. No lo hicieron - por 27 años, hasta que un encuentro del destino los envolvió en una tormenta de emociones y recuerdos. ¿Puede la unión del primer amor no solo sobrevivir, sino florecer aún más? Como la primera vez te hará sumergir en la magia de un amor juvenil en un pequeño pueblo de los Estados Unidos en 1970.
