For the First Time: A sapphic small town secret love/first love romance set in the 90's (Paige Point Book 1)

The summer of 1994 in Paige Point feels eternal, trapped beneath a canopy of pines and the heavy, humid silence of small-town expectations. For seventeen-year-old Clara, life is a series of carefully rehearsed performances until she meets Julianne. With her restless spirit and a secret she keeps tucked behind a camera lens, Julianne disrupts the quiet rhythm of Clara’s world, igniting a connection that is as terrifying as it is inevitable. What begins as stolen glances and whispered conversations in the flickering light of the local cinema quickly deepens into a profound, hidden devotion. In a town where everyone knows everyone else’s business, their growing feelings are a fragile secret they must guard against the prying eyes of neighbors and the weight of tradition. This is a story of first love in its rawest, most transformative form—the kind that leaves you breathless and forever changed. Written with a refreshing, lyrical intimacy, this novel captures the ache of self-discovery and the electric uncertainty of youth. It is a heartfelt journey through the butterflies of early romance and the courage required to be truly seen. If you have ever wondered what it means to find yourself in someone else, Paige Point is waiting for you.
