"How to Deal" is a dual novel that combines two of Sarah Dessen's beloved stories: "Someone Like You" and "That Summer." In "Someone Like You," the protagonist, Halley, navigates the ups and downs of teenage love and the complexities of friendship as she faces unexpected changes in her life, particularly revolving around her best friend, Scarlett, and a tragic loss. In "That Summer," the focus shifts to Haven, who grapples with her family dynamics and the bittersweet memories of a past summer. Both narratives explore themes of love, loss, and the importance of personal growth during the formative teenage years. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
