Genre ~ YA
Publication date ~ July 5, 2022
Page Count ~ 297
Audio length ~ 7 hours and 32 minutes
Narrator ~ Natalie Naudus
POV ~ single
Featuring ~ teens, friends to enemies to lovers, road trip, magic, first love, cute

Ellie is shy and feels invisible, so she creates a summer bucket list before her planned road trip with her BFF, Lia. Something on the list goes wrong and now she's on a road trip with her former best friend and worse nightmare, Jack.

Ellie and Jack have known each other for years and each have magical abilities. They had a falling out after Jack's mom passed away and have avoided each other since.

Somewhere along the way to the Magical Convention they realize that maybe things were misconstrued. I liked seeing Ellie come out of her wallflowerness and grow into a young lady that takes chances on life and love.

Told solely by Ellie ~ I do wish we had Jack's point of view to see if he was as mad at her and she was at him.

Narration notes:
I am happy with Natalie's narrating skills.

Overall, this was cute and I'd be happy to read this author again.
