Is He or Isn't He?

Certainly that's the question a lot of us asked ourselves, in our angst-filled teenage years.

And it's probably on our minds at this time of our lives, as we try and figure out what side of the fence our crush o'the day is on... whether he's from our gym, the bodega down the street, or the one who delivers packages to the office in the brown shorts and brown truck.

It's fun wondering. It's fun having a crush.

For the young adults in our lives, the novel Is He or Isn't He?, might be a good addition to their personal libraries.

It's a novel written by someone I know, John Hall, and just came out a few weeks ago.

It's about typical high school best friend pair -- gay boy/straight girl -- as they set their goal on getting boyfriends in the next year, all the while wondering about the boys they compete over and like... Is He or Isn't He? And do these characters compete!

Well, main characters of novel, and young adults... the question never goes away. But it sure is fun stumbling and trying to figure out along the way.
