In this powerful collection, such YA authors as Gayle Forman, Adi Alsaid, and Mike Curato answer real letters from teens about the dark side of love: dating violence, break-ups, cheating, betrayals, and loneliness. Their responses are autobiographical, unflinching, and filled with love and hope for the anonymous teen writers.
