A cute rom com, coming of age story.  Riley is struggling to decide what she wants to do since graduating from high school and not getting accepted to any of the colleges she applied to.  Her childhood friend has been living in NYC so she decides visiting him may help her figure some things out.  Afterall, they have a bucket list of things to do that they never were able to check off before he moved away. I will say I thought the story fun and cute but I do believe I may have been a few years older than the target age. Parts were a little juvenile and I struggled connecting to the main character at times.  Honestly though, had there been a point of view from Riley's mom I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more.  Perfect for young teens, especially those trying to find there way into adulthood.  Cute clean romance.
