Synopsis (from Goodreads):

A sweet and swoony contemporary Young Adult novel about a cross-country family road trip that puts one girl and her childhood best friend on an unexpected road to romance!

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? 

My Review:

Years later their families decide to go on an RV trip together, and Norah thinks this will be the perfect opportunity to reconnect with Skyler. But the reunion is not as Norah expected, as Skyler seems to not want anything to do with her.

This book was fun and had an interesting plot, but the beginning was a bit slow and I was just excited about how these two would eventually get together. I did like the mystery of figuring out what was going on with the moms though! The ending also felt a bit rushed and I would have liked to see things flushed out a bit more!
