Uses for Boys
by Erica Lorraine Scheidt
Then comes Sam. When Anna actually meets a boy who's more than just useful, whose family eats dinner together, laughs, and tells stories, the truth about love becomes clear. And she finally learns how it feels to have something to lose — and something to offer.
REVIEWS...
"I wish every young woman could gain the wisdom found in these pages. Quiet. Stark. Possibly life-changing." --Ellen Hopkins, author of the Crank series
"Haunting, frank, and un-put-down-able." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"If somebody had handed me this book when I was fifteen, I would have felt 75 percent less alone and 100 percent less crazy." --Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted
"Like its narrator, Uses for Boys is poetic, edgy, and strong [...] I finished it in two sitting and sobbed at the end." --Francesca Lia Block, author of the Weetzie Bat series
