This was okay, but I was hoping for more of a difference between the stories. ( )

This book gives a good idea about and demonstrates how boys and girls think. Especially as teenagers. 4Q3P The cover art is okay and I'd recommend this for high school students and adults. I chose to read this book because I just randomly grabbed it at the library. AdrianR

I generally love a collection of stories and this one was absolutely stellar. Male and female authors are pitted against one another to tell one story in two parts, one from the feminine side of things and the other from the male. I think James Howe and Ellen Wittlinger should write their story together in a full length novel *hint hint nudge nudge*.

The stories hint at how misconceptions are formed in relationships especially in the teen years. How one can say one thing and mean something completely different and the other can take it a completely different way than how it was intended. The stories are full of love, arguments and the torture that only first love can be.

Blurb: Fabulous collection from Chronicle Books. The stories while not always perfectly melding together gave an added bonus of miscommunication and misconception. A definite for any short story collector. ( )

Review from library copy.

Liked the style. ( )

This one didn't really work for me. I think short story anthologies always run the risk of being a bit hit or miss for the reader, it's pretty rare you'll find an anthology where you love or even enjoy every story. For this anthology I found I didn't really enjoy any of them, there were a couple of stories that I thought were okay but nothing more. A shame, but you can't love every book. ( )
