Making Out is a series of young adult novels by authors K. A. Applegate and Michael Grant.[1] The series was formerly known as "Boyfriends/Girlfriends" and the first eight books were republished in 2015 as The Islanders.[2] The books focus on the lives of teenagers living on Chatham Island, a fictional island off the coast of Maine. The main characters early in the series are Zoey Passmore and her brother Benjamin, Claire Geiger and her sister Nina, Jake McRoyan, Lucas Cabral, and Aisha Gray.
The books deal with several difficult topics such as the death of a parent, child sexual abuse, divorce, disability, drugs, and alcohol, and follow the effect of these issues on the characters' lives, from their senior year in high school to life in college.
The series was published in German with an additional 29th book.[3][4] Books from the series have also been translated into Bulgarian, Czech, Dutch, French, Greek, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Thai.[5][6][7][8]
