‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ by Kristina Forest
Chloe always follows the rules (like, always), so things get complicated for her when she decides to lie to her mother and take an unapproved road trip across the Northeast to audition for a spot at a prestigious ballet academy in Washington, D.C. It doesn’t help that her annoying (and adorable) neighbor, Eli, and his dog, Geezer, blackmail her into letting them join, adding more chaos and strife to an already stressful trip.
This relatable and heartwarming romantic comedy is full of #BlackGirlMagic. It reminds us to fight for what we love, even if that means getting into a little bit of trouble. Through roadblock after roadblock, Chloe remains determined to follow her dream to become a ballet dancer, and if that isn’t badass, I don’t know what is.
