Norah hasn’t seen her childhood best friend, Skyler, in years. When he first moved away, they'd talk all the time, but lately their relationship has been reduced to liking each other’s Instagram posts. That’s why Norah can’t wait for the joint RV road trip their families have planned for the summer.
But when Skyler finally arrives, he seems...like he’d rather be anywhere else. Hurt and confused, Norah reacts in kind. Suddenly, her oldest friendship is on the rocks.
An unexpected summer spent driving across the country leads both Norah and Skyler down new roads and to new discoveries. Before long, they are, once again, seeing each other in a different light. Can their friendship-turned-rivalry turn into something more?
I don't read a lot of YA books but author Kasie West is an author whose books I never miss. She really has a way of making characters and situations feel realistic. This book is about reconnecting with old friends, building new connections and dealing with life's tough moments. It's family and it's friends. It's learning to trust again. It's adventure!
Norah and Skyler have a bumpy road back to friendship from all misunderstandings. But, as per usual, once they started communicating and stop fighting, they figured it all out. All the characters were easy to settle in with and I enjoyed them all.
I loved the two family road trip and the different places they went. I've been lots of those places too so it was easy to imagine where they were and what they were doing and seeing. The story felt very age appropriate and it made me smile. This is a book I would have easily passed off to my daughters when they were teenagers. They would have loved it.
