About this ebook
In New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson’s first novel, a teen begins to heal from grief and open up to new possibility over the course of a cross-country road trip—an emotional and romantic “near-perfect summer read” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
It’s 2010.
You have to drive all the way across the country with a (very cute) stranger.
Without a smartphone.
Amy Curry can’t believe this is her life. Her mother moved across the country, and it’s now up to her to get their car from California to Connecticut. But since the car accident that shattered her world, Amy isn’t driving.
Enter Roger. He’s a college freshman, a family friend who also has to get across the country—and has his own reasons for agreeing to the trip.
As Amy and Roger hit the highway, they start a journey neither of them could have imagined—filled with road trip music, fast food, unexpected detours, new friends, old flames, family secrets…and maybe even love.

I had to pick from a list of books for my senior year summer book club and I could not have picked a better book. I read it in one sitting that's how amazing it was! If you want adventure and romance read this book!

I read this last summer and loved it. I'm going to read it again I love it so much. If you're into road trips at all this is so perfect and even includes a playlist for each leg of the trip. Makes me want to just get in the car and drive. Plus there's a precious love story and self-triumph, you really can't go wrong. Perfectly cathartic.
