YA
Practical teen Audrey questions her future the summer after graduation. Her professor parents push their local liberal arts college, but Audrey considers pursuing nursing out of state. A surprising (and authentic) romance with a boy devoted to their seaside-California hometown makes her decision harder. This breezy summer story boasts a well-balanced mix of romantic, family, and personal conflicts that will appeal to Sarah Dessen fans.

Rebecca is part of a thespian group dedicated to their drama teacher, Mr. McFadden. Rebecca's junior year seems perfect--she's won the leading role and the leading man--until rumors of her promiscuity begin. Set in Portland, Oregon, this realistic story explores sexuality and gossip. Written from Rebecca's perspective, the emotional narrative is paired with smooth, humorous dialogue; the ending is tidy but satisfying.
