Make It Work — Chandra Sparks Taylor

Selected as Alabama's Great Read 2017 Sixteen-year-old Reagan Davis has landed her dream job, an internship at FIRE 107.1, the hottest radio station in town. It doesn't take Reagan long to realize that between competitive coworkers and trying to ignore her growing feelings for her oh-so-cute coworker Jayden, there's more drama at FIRE than she's ever experienced at school. That might be okay if she could go home and relax, but her mother is acting weird and her father is keeping secrets. Even with all the madness at home, Reagan can't deny that radio is in her blood, and whatever it takes, this summer she's determined to…make it work.
