Shed rather wear sweats, build furniture, and get into trouble with her solid group of friends: Woods, Mash, Davey, Fifty, and Janie Lee.But when Janie Lee confesses to Billie that shes in love with Woods, Billies filled with a nagging sadness as she realizes that she is also in love with Woods...and maybe with Janie Lee, too.Always considered "one of the guys," Billie doesnt want anyone slapping a label on her sexuality before she can understand it herself. So she keeps her conflicting feelings to herself, for fear of ruining the group dynamic.Except its not just about keeping the peace, its about understanding love on her terms-this thing that has always been defined as a boy and a girl falling in love and living happily ever after. For Billie-a box-defying dynamo-its not that simple. Readers will be drawn to Billie as she comes to terms with the gray areas of love, gender, and friendship, in this John Hughes-esque exploration of sexual fluidity.

Dress Codes for Small Towns is a poetic love letter to the complexities of teenage identity, and the frustrations of growing up in a place where everything fits in a box-except you. This book cannot be contained." -- David Arnold, New York Times bestselling author of Kids of Appetite "Courtney Stevens has outdone herself capturing the complicated love of family, the sustaining love of friendship, and the most difficult love of all: the ability to love yourself for who you are. I dare you not to love this book." -- Stephanie Appell, Manager of Books for Young Readers, Parnassus Books "Courtney Stevens delivers a cherished gift for our middle grades and high school readers. The gift of friendship. The gift of safe places. The gift of love. And, most importantly, the gift of acceptance." -- Julie R. Stokes, Literacy Coordinator, Dalton Middle School "With Dress Codes for Small Towns, Courtney Stevens firmly reasserts herself as a master storyteller of young adult fiction; crafting stories bursting with humor, heart, and the deepest sort of empathy." -- Jeff Zentner, Morris Award Finalist for The Serpent King "Will be highly recommending!" -- Teresa Steele of Old Firehouse Books (Fort Collins, CO) "With singing prose and a rollicking plot, Stevens presents a rich palette of characters daring to brave familial and societal expectations to become what theyre meant to be. A spirited, timeless tale of teen self-discovery in those tense, formative high school moments, captured with grace, lyricism, and insight." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An instant classic. This is The Perks of Being a Wallflower without the angst, for a new generation. A good choice for every collection." -- School Library Journal Review Quote "Will be highly recommending!"
