When her best friend, Malachai, discovers her plan, he begs her to spend the remainder of spring break with him, so he can show her all the reasons she should stay in Texas. But their plans are interrupted when Nikki’s little sister, Vae, goes missing. Nikki is forced to work alongside her difficult mother, while navigating her budding romantic feelings for Malachai, as they all set off in search of Vae.
Over the course of a week, Nikki finds the love she’s always been missing, but will it be enough to convince her to stay in Texas?”
- I adored Joya’s previous book Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl and have been wanting to read more from this author!
- I love books that balance romance with complex themes of family and coming-of-age.
- Road trip books are always so fun! A few of my favorites are Lulu and Milagro’s Search for Clarity, I Wanna Be Where You Are, and Here We Are Now.
- Contemporary romance is always a big hit with teens at my library, so I’m looking forward to adding this one to our shelves.
- I’m a sucker for a cute illustrated cover!
