Synopsis: TEENS LAUGH, cry, share dream about the opposite sex in this fascinating short-story collection spanning the scope of adolescent love. A girl seeks advice on how to steal her best friend's thug. A boy discovers what it means to be a man through his treatment of a woman. A teen's severe skin disorder makes her retreat inside her own room, inside her own head. These stories are often humorous, always on-point expositions of youth determined to find self-worth, any way they know how. Confronted daily with tough issues that seem only to increase as the school day wears on, adolescents of all complexions struggle to make a place for themselves in society while defining their significance in terms of their allure to the other gender.
