About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson comes an emotional and romantic “near-perfect summer read” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about a teen who begins to heal from grief and open up to new possibility over the course of a cross-country road trip.
There were three things Amy Curry didn’t expect out of senior year. First: her father’s death. Second: her mother’s decision to relocate to the East Coast. Third: Roger Sullivan.
After her father’s sudden death, Amy’s mom has decided to start anew—in Connecticut, just before the start of senior year. And she’s decided that it’ll be Amy’s job to get the car from California to Connecticut.
The only problem? Amy hasn’t gotten behind the wheel since the car accident that took her father’s life.
Enter Roger, a family friend, tasked by his mother to help Amy drive across the country. Amy’s not pleased to be stuck on a road trip with a boy she barely knows, but as she navigates her cross-country adventure, she must confront the past she’s running from, come to terms with the grief of losing a parent, and learn how to open her heart in order to find herself again.
