Poems alternating from male and female perspectives capture the joys, struggles, and loss of teenage love. That first meaningful look, subsequent giddy excitement, passionate disagreements, and eventual breakup are all chronicled using a variety of poetic forms. Teen readers will surely see themselves in these poems, finding reassurance as well as solace. Dramatic black-and-white digital spot art and photographs accompany the pieces.
