How are our lives, our worth, and our love measured? Is it in the people we love? Is it in the things we accomplish? Is it in the way we meet others? Or perhaps the way we understand ourselves? These are some of the questions Jessie seeks answers to in her second semester at UCLA. Through the second volume of the series The Notion of, we delve deeper into New Adult Romance to find the love for ourselves. In The Notion of (Self)Destructive Behavior, we follow Jessie, who has her own struggles - to say the least. It is a raw and hard-hitting story about a person searching for her place in this world, but missing the one person who can give her it.
