Rookie on Love

“A book that you wish more people had. Since so much of what feels wrong right now stems from a profound lack of empathy and understanding, Rookie is something of an antidote.”—Salon

“Many books for teenagers encourage independence and self-awareness, but few do so with this much honesty, humor, and style . . . It’s a lucky teen who receives this book as a gift, and a smart one who picks it up for herself.”—Publishers Weekly

“Rookie magazine; [an] independent-minded role model to any number of girls, young and old, interested in building their own empire.”—The New Yorker

“Containing poetry, essays, interviews, graphic short stories, and fiction, covering doggie love, Arthurian love, and grandmother love, the book offers a niche of love that all women can connect to. A thoughtful, light read celebrating a universal emotion.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“The contributors, diverse in race and sexual orientation, range from current teens to adults who vividly remember their teen years. . . . Each voice lends itself to universal truths about love, sometimes in no-holds-barred language, making this a good choice for YA and new adult collections.”—Booklist
