Popular YA authors including Libba Bray, Nina LaCour, and Ibi Zoboi respond to readers' letters about heartbreak with intimate stories and thoughts on relationships and identity. The collection is somewhat uneven stylistically, but the responses--vulnerable, raw, sometimes a touch saccharine but always in strong solidarity--reverberate with empathy and encouragement. Mental health resources are appended. Websites.
