Synopsis

Maya's summer is shaping up to be unforgettable - in both good and bad ways. First she's sent to stay with her grandmother for a month. Living in the city, Maya is too far from her friend Keysha and her boyfriend, Misalo - and too near her rebellious cousin Viviana. When Maya finally comes home, her parents drop a bombshell: Viviana is moving in with them. Her cousin causes chaos from the start, but her motives are up for debate - especially when it comes to Misalo. Maya begins to see that following Viviana has its price, and it could cost her her future...

About this title

Review:

"Sewell addresses some major social issues that confront young adults in a way that is both satisfying and nonthreatening. Readers are treated to nicely veiled and fully integrated lessons on the dangers of unprotected sex, teen pregnancy, drug addiction, and alcoholism, all woven into a story of romance, adventure, and yes, a little mystery." -School Library Journal on MYSELF AND I
