Study Break : 11 College Tales from Orientation to Graduation edited by Aashna Avachat

This collection of interconnected YA short stories, written by Gen Z authors, explores different parts of "the college experience," from questioning your major to questioning your identity.

College . . . the best time, the worst time, and something in between.

What do you do when orientation isn't going according to your (sister's) detailed plans? Where do you go when you're searching for community in faith? What happens when your partner for your last film project is also your crush and graduation is quickly approaching?

Told over one academic year, this collection of stories set on the same fictional campus features students from different cultures, genders, and interests learning more about who they are and who they want to be. Gen Z contributors include Jake Maia Arlow, Arushi Avachat, Boon Carmen, Ananya Devarajan, Camryn Garrett, Christina Li, Racquel Marie, Oyin, Laila Sabreen, Michael Waters, and Joelle Wellington.
