DEAR BOYFRIEND
...AND OTHER HIGH SCHOOL DILEMMAS

The butterflies pick up their pace. I like that Andy isn’t trying to be coy. Like, he’s making it pretty clear that he’s into me. And I’m into that.

Emma Bishop is ready for a fresh start. She's in high school now, after all, so there's no room for last year’s drama to follow her. She's older and wiser, more confident, and determined to make this her best year yet.

​

In what might be the most exciting development of her life, Emma finally has a boyfriend. Andy is cute and nice and really likes her– what could go wrong? As it turns out, everything. 

​

From sleepovers to high school dances, dreaming of her first boyfriend to having one glued to her side, Emma is excited, nervous, and most of all, confused. It doesn’t stop there though. She finds herself navigating dynamic shifts in her friend group, break-ups and make-ups, sibling relationships, and all the dilemmas that come with being a freshman in high school.

​

Dear Boyfriend… and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all.

"Dear Boyfriend is everything you need in an early YA book. Younger me would have loved a book like this; something so relatable and honest. Adult me loves this book because it takes me back to those awkward days, with the perfect hint of nostalgia. It's a refreshing look at the process of growing up."
