Cassidy is on her way home for her sister's wedding. Luke is on his way home for a surprise visit with his family. Together, nothing can stop them from getting to California even though everything seems to try.
I loved this comical, adventurous little gem from start to finish!
The banter between Cassidy and Luke wasn't your typical enemies-to-lovers type. Cassidy's kindness goes a long way, but unknowingly, Luke pushed her to her limits reasonably early on, and her no-nonsense attitude toward him kept my attention. Between Luke's innocent charm and Cassidy's easy friendliness, they found some common ground and decided to work together to get home in one piece.
While Cassidy and Luke's family issues and struggles motivated them to continue their trip, it didn't stop them from taking time out for themselves and each other. If you can survive a cross-country trip with the struggles these two characters faced, I'm pretty sure you can survive anything.
And whoa - the tension build-up and spice in this book just about melted my Kindle screen! đźâđš I'm not sure I'll think about a convertible the same way again. đ„”

This is a cute beach read. You root for the two of them to be together and you also follow up with all the side characters. I wouldnât be surprised if this becomes a whole series. Thereâs definitely something going on with the two best friends. I think I might even like that one more. I loved all the crazy shenanigans that happened that brought these two together. Itâs a fun read that I would recommend for summer.

Who doesnât love the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? I know I do. And, despite not having read this author before, that idea totally sold me on wanting to read this book. Two people having one travel disaster after another while trying to get to their families but add in the potential for them to fall in love (somehow that wasnât part of the Steve Martin movie charm lol).
I think the craziest thing about the book is it makes you think about how different your reaction to someone could be if you were actually around a stranger long enough to get to know them. Cause Cassidy and Luke do not have a meet cute. He âstealsâ her parking spot when sheâs running late for her flight, she dislikes him immediately and forms an opinion on âhis typeâ yet she doesnât know him at all.
Luke is trying to fly home to be with his family because heâs worried that his sister is keeping his momâs health issues a secret from him.
Cassidy is trying to get home to her sisterâs wedding. Cassidy feels an unbelievable amount of pressure, from her mom, to make her sisterâs wedding perfect. And Cassidy has spent her entire life trying to keep the peace with her mom and stay close with her sister despite being incredibly jealous of her.
When Luke and Cassidyâs flight is grounded, Luke offers to let Cassidy join him in his rental car since itâs the last one.
I felt like Cassidy and Luke were both incredibly nice people who always put absolutely everyone first (to a fault though).
I really enjoyed the funny portion of the book where one catastrophe after another derailed their travels, keeping them away from their destinations yet bringing them closer together.
I donât know if this is a complaint per se but once this switched into love story mode it just stayed there. It took a long while to get to that point but I found the story more entertaining during the parts where they were traveling together and getting to know each other. Once the feelings and attractions came to the surface, it got more dramatic. The stuff with both of their families was way less fun than the rest of the story. I noticed content warnings because it deals with major health issues, alcohol issues, abandonment and verbal abuse from both Will and Cassidyâs moms respectively. I think thatâs worth mentioning cause it does get a little heavy for awhile during the time both Will and Cassidy are trying to figure out how to live for themselves rather than their mothers.
I enjoyed the story but I probably enjoyed the first 75% more than the last 25%.
