About this eBook

Guys and girls get together, get played, and get real.

Who Am I Without Him? is a Booklist Top Ten Romance Novel for Teens and is "breaking new and necessary ground"

in twelve short stories about guys and girls falling in and out of love and relationships, testing out ways to communicate with one another, respect each other -- and respect themselves.

This is a complex, often humorous, and always on-point exploration of today's teens determined to find love and self-worth . . . any way they know how.

Note: this is potentially going to be in a bind-up with You Don't Even Know Me.

Ratings and reviews

I just remembered this author and how much I loved reading her books growing up this one here was my favorite I read it over and over . I'm even thinking about doing it again for old times sake .

Uses figurative language and imagery which is awsome cause it paints a picture in the reader's mind

This is great book that I have read this year by her. Its so true:-)
