As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

How to Love by Katie Cotugno
I'm not sure I would buy this for my high school library. It's okay for public school. There's a tragic drunk driving event that threads through out the story. There's a drug addiction to pain killers and of course there is some teen sex. And the consequences of having a child. Sawyer comes across as pretty intense and brooding. Reena is still young and still figuring it out. There's some family disfunction in this story.
