Read about teens in cities like Jason Reynolds's The Boy in a Black Suit (New York), suburbs like Brandy Colbert's Pointe (Illinois), or rural areas like Sarah Tomp's My Best Everything (Virginia).

From the West Coast (Martha Brockenbrough's The Game of Love and Death - Washington) to the East Coast (Kate Scelsa's Fans of the Impossible Life - New Jersey). From Disneyland (Isabel Quintero's Gabi, A Girl in Pieces, set in Southern California) to Disney World (Lauren Gibaldi's The Night We Said Yes, set in Orlando, Florida), there's a whole country to explore.
