How great to stumble across such a well-written teen book dedicated to the experience of breaking up. This may be a "library book," but it could just as easily be in the pop-teen-girl/guy trade genre. It's just the right mix of reality, acknowledgment of what readers are going through, and hope. Every teen who's dating or considering dating should read it cover to cover. I sure could have used this when I was a teen!

By far and away this is one of this best books I've read on this subject. I highly recommend this for all teens to read. It deals with all types of relationships, which is something I feel that would be very helpful for many young adults.

I feel by far this is probably the best dating book I've ever read. This focuses on both sexes, and what they go through as far as the relationship experience goes. It also shows how they both can treat each other with respect, and it doesn't talk down to on sex, and coddles the other. I feel that this is where the dating world has gone to where the men, or boys are treated like they're monsters because they're wired to want sex real bad, and want it at any cost, and girls are so innocent that even if they are guilty it should easily be pencilled away as "Well it's the guys fault.", and all the girls laugh themselves into oblivion. I know that's rather extreme, but my point being is not all men are these monsters. Yes we secretly love sex and having the wet dreams, and some girls out there will probably make us come at the drop of a hat, but if a girl can respect our feelings when telling us "No", and reassure us that it's not us we may be able to return the respect. If some can't I want to be the first to apologize, and if that guy who pushed over the line, and raped a girl get him in the room with me, and I will talk with him. I would let him know it's guys like him that are giving us guys a real bad name. I also like the way it handles the breakup. It doesn't tell the girls to have a stash of boys to handle her ex who can't take "No" for an answer, and tell them to "Sic Em". I like the way it even goes as far as where they make a long walk, or a day at the beach where they go over their relationship, and at the end pray for each other. That one almost brought me to tears. However, we both need to be sure that because the love is gone doesn't mean that we now have to treat each other indifferent. That's so horrible. I hope it's the trend of writing dating books where both sexes are considered.
