This book will help them understand and sort out their myriad feelings and experiences. Rather than merely offering one adult's opinions or reflections on love, Kirberger deftly combines material from teens dealing with firsthand adolescent love with that from adults sensitive to the special needs of teens. She includes original letters she has received from teens, along with her responses to their questions, concerns and confusion. This blend provides a wide-ranging perspective on love and relationships. It will enable teens to gain wisdom and choose more wisely when making decisions in love and relationships. This book is designed to guide teens through the maze of love and relationships in a gentle, understanding and compassionate way. It isn't a dos-and-don'ts manual, but rather a how-it-is-in-love guidebook. Teens will come to treasure it as a wise and loving counselor and companion. On the roller-coaster ride of teen love, this is one book no teen can afford to be without. Check out the companion book, Teen Love: A Journal on Relationships, co-authored with Colin Mortensen of MTV's Real World/Hawaii.媒体推荐From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-In a proven, appealing format, the author presents letters based on actual teen queries and provides wise, supportive answers. Throw in some poetry, teen stories, and funny comics and the end result is a title that will probably get passed from friend to friend. There's something here for everyone, though nothing is terribly new. However, many of the problems are timeless and universal and don't require original solutions. More important are the tone and veracity of the advice and information that are given. From concerns about self-esteem to finding that special friend to unrequited love or breaking up, Kirberger, author of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul (Health Communications, 1997), takes on these important topics with levity and respect. Teens who read "Dear Abby" or the advice columns in their favorite magazines will particularly enjoy this book.
