Many, many thanks to Julie Halpern for offering us her author's insight into *The F-It List*. My CCBC colleague Emily Townsend and I couldn't resist talking about the book one more time this morning, with both of us returning to our appreciation for the credibility of these characters, and especially the realistic friendship between Becca and Alex. They are strong and complex young women, whose voices always rang true as contemporary seventeen year olds.
Thanks also to Alaya Dawn Johnson for her perspectives on *The Summer Prince* and to everyone who participated in the March discussion of sex and young adult literature.
Feel free to post any final comments or thoughts on the topic today. As always, we'll open up the first few days of the month for general announcements on CCBC-Net before turning to April's discussion of poetry.
