Girlfriend Material
by Melissa Kantor
Common teen romance. But I like how a lot of these books, especially Sarah Dessen’s books, urge readers to stand up for what you want, to have courage and to be honest. I think that’s what makes people gravitate to these kinds of stories, the bare human emotion of being afraid to be honest and reaping the rewards once you do. But not all stories are happy endings, just usually the ones you get in teen fiction.
