Product Description

Book Description

Rule #1: There are no rules

Just when you think you've got everything figured out for yourself, things get turned upside down. Families change. Lives end. New lives begin. And love sneaks up on you when you least expect it. The trick is finding that one person you can always count on, that one person who will throw out the rules and help you figure out how to deal with it all.

Here, from acclaimed author Sarah Dessen, are two books about girls who stick together and manage to get it right -- the two books that served as inspiration for the film How to Deal, starring Mandy Moore. Read them, and you'll see where Halley and Scarlett's story began.

This review is from: How to Deal movie tie-in (Mass Market Paperback)

This book deals with all the things that happen to teenagers during there high school years from the death of a friend to your parents getting divorced and your best friend getting pregnant. It is the perfect book for any teenager it makes you relize that your friends mean a lot to you and if anything were to happen to them you would be devastated for life and that the years you spend in high school will define the rest of your life one mistake can shatter your life into pieces. Anyone who has ever been in high school can relate to at least one problem that the charactors face your would have to have been home schooled if you don't because everyone has had a friend die or get pregnant or maybe a divorce happens but you learn through time how to deal with all the problems that you are faced with. I hope that everyone enjoys this book as much as I did the movie is good but the books are better as always.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a good book!!!, Dec 7 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Deal movie tie-in (Mass Market Paperback)

I took this book out of the public library a month ago for a bit of light reading. I had heard through some people at school that Mandy Moore was doing a movie called How to Deal, so when I saw the book I had to pick it up! I thought that the first section was better than the second section, becuase it delt more with sad teen issues rather than just divorce issues. I no sooner finished reading the novel, and then I ran out to my local "Chapers" book store, and bought 3 copies- one for me, and the other ones for two of my friends! It is a good book and I would recomend it to anybody who likes sweet sentimental books that deal with teen issues!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars How To Deal, Oct 29 2003

This review is from: How to Deal movie tie-in (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is actually two different books that are put into one volume. The first book, Someone Like You, is AMAZING and I couldn't put it down. However, the second book, That Summer, was boring and I only read it when I was trying to get out of cleaning my room. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my money and I would just buy Someone Like You. I gave this book 4 star because Someone Like You is one of the best books I've ever read, but I don't like That Summer at all. Is anyone else confused on how they made a movie out of these books?
