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.

Genre:

  • "Characters are vividly present, as each story seems to jump into life exploring not just the sexual tension, but race and class as well. Honest and valuable."
    Kirkus Reviews
  • "The often-painful stories paint believable pictures of urban teens from a variety of backgrounds."
    Publishers Weekly
