Based on two of Sara Dessen's bestselling novels, 'How to Deal' is a new feature film from New Line Cinema starring Mandy Moore. This is a two-in-one edition with the complete text from both novels - That Summer and Someone Like You.

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.

It's rare that I like a movie better than a book, but this was one of those times. The two novels in this volume were 'merged' to make the movie, How To Deal. Separately, I didn't like them that much. I preferred Halley to Haven, Macon to Sumner. Maybe If I had read the books first, I would feel differently!
