Twelve of the most dynamic* and engaging* young adult authors team up for this one-of-a-kind collection of he said/she said stories. He tells it from the guys’ point of view, she tells it from the girls’.

    Joseph Bruchac writes of a Native American boy who is short for his age and learning martial arts* to defend* himself against the bigger guys at school. He would like to get together with the tall star of the girls’ basketball team, but he is sure she would never go for him.

    Cynthia Leitich Smith writes the other side of the story, of a girl who’s not very girly and who intimidates* the boys around her.

    In this story, as in all the others, the boys and girls face their insecurities*, their fears, and sometimes even defy* the wishes of their parents in the pursuit* of love.

    These are stories of love and heartbreak. There’s the good-looking jock* who falls for a dangerous girl, and the flipside, the toxic girl who never learned to be loved; the gay* boy looking for love online and the girl who could help make it happen.

    Each story in this unforgettable collection teaches us that relationships are complicated* because there are two sides to every story.

    This collection, edited by Kelly Milner Halls, is funny, smart and raw in the way it looks at teens in love. (SD-Agencies)
