I Wanna Be Where You Are by Kristina Forest
3.0
3.5 stars
Here, we get a good road-trip story, with the classic elements of a normally-good girl being forced to spend time with a guy who’s been putting off bad-boy vibes; a girl who’s reaching for her dreams but is dealing with a parent who doesn’t fully support them; teens who are right on that cusp of launching into adulthood, with all the questions and concerns of being 17 and 18. It’s done pretty well, and it’s nice to have this from the point of view of a black girl, particularly one who is a ballet dancer, a profession/hobby that’s predominated by short, thin white dancers.
