Description

Guys and girls get together, get played, and get real.

WHO AM I WITHOUT HIM is a Booklist Top Ten Romance Novel for Teens and is "breaking new and necessary ground"* in twelve short stories about guys and girls falling in and out of love and relationships, testing out ways to communicate with one another, respect each other--and respect themselves.

This is a complex, often humorous, and always on-point exploration of today's teens determined to find love and self-worth . . . any way they know how.

Note: this is potentially going to be in a bind-up with YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.
