All Over the Map

The off-limits best friend’s brother trope gets the road trip treatment in this funny and smart YA novel. In the deft style of Emma Lord and Julie Buxbaum, it’s also a deeper novel about the pieces we’re made from and what family really is.

Content Notice for Parents

Chapter 13: the only chapter I might want a head's up about as a parent. But in case I'm desensitized after so many years around teens, this book also contains:
 

 

  • teens lying about a road trip

  • a couple of mild bible swears

  • descriptive kissing

  • mention of a long ago college fling and unplanned pregnancy

  • multiple mentions of sperm donors and their common beneficiaries in the context of fertility

  • mention of a one-and-only experience drinking and regretting it

  • an accidental trip to a marijuana farm (no endorsement of cannabis)
