  <default_description>Ariel Schrag continues her tumultuous passage through high school in the second book of her acclaimed series of frank, insightful, and painfully honest autobiographical graphic novels. Written during the summer following her junior year at Berkeley High School in California, Potential recounts Ariel's first real relationship and first-time love with a girl, her quest to lose her virginity to a boy, and her parents' divorce -- as well as the personal and social complications of writing about her life as she lives it. Along the way she hangs out with her favorite teacher, obsesses over clothes, gets drunk, smokes pot, and tries to connect the biology she reads about in textbooks with the biology she's living.

    <body><![CDATA[Loved all four years, but I think this book was the best of the three.  Of course, it makes me want to go back and read &quot;Likewise&quot; again now that I've got all the background.<br/><br/>Oh, Sally...you broke all of our hearts.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The drawing style it not my favorite, which is partly why i didn't like it more. But i have to enjoy a graphic novel that's just so honest and relatable, and even funny times.]]></body>
