Synopsis (from Goodreads):

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone, Morgan Matson.

Two girls. One night. Zero phones.

Kat and Stevie—best friends, theater kids, polar opposites—have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?

Well. Kind of a lot?

They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.

Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship, their choices…and finally discover what they really want for their future.

That is, assuming they can make it to Grand Central before the clock strikes midnight. 

My Review:

Thank you Simon and Schuster Canada for the copy of this book.
–
Read if you like: cute YA, coming of age stories.
–
Kat and Stevie are two best friends in their senior year of high school. They are theatre kids, they love to have fun and they love their school. When they decide to sneak to NYC for the night, not everything goes according to plan.
–
I really liked Stevie. She wants to have a relationship with her father so badly that she is willing to not follow her passions just to be more like him. Maybe it is because I could relate to Stevie a little more than Kat, but I found Kat a little annoying at times. But I loved the adventure that these two had. I also liked that the book was structured into blocks of time during the day!
–
I did think that the side story with their two friends was weird and a little unnecessary, and I felt like it was just put in to add more pages.

CW: divorce, unprofessional teacher.
