The setting in this novel takes place in Illinois. Alex lives on the south side of Chicago, near the train tracks. Most Mexican families live there. Brittany lives on the north side, near Lake Michigan. The two towns both join together for Fairfield High School. The south side is poor while the north side is rich and wealthier. This is a problem in the story, because nobody in the high school expects a white person from the north side dating a darker person from the south side.
The time period is modern-day. There are gangs and much more modern things.
-Claudia Komperda, per.1, Ms. Buys.
