OLDER FICTION
Strohm, Stephanie Kate

It's Not Me, It's You

(4) YA When Avery's boyfriend dumps her before senior prom, she (questionably) leverages her American history assignment to explore her own relationship history. Interviewing old boyfriends and classmates reveals both pleasant and unpleasant truths. An original format--often humorous interview transcripts, with well-placed commentary from Avery--helps elevate the familiar and formulaic story. Satisfyingly, Avery's reflective quest yields things more important than a prom date: self-acceptance and -respect.
