Two weeks on the road... stuck in a car with your high-school enemy.
Noelle Shepard is grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother when she discovers decades-old photos and letters that hint to a forbidden love in her gram's past. Needing to know the full story, she creates a TikTok video appealing for information - and it goes viral.
Through her video, she manages to track down her grandmother's secret love, Paul, who offers to take her on the honeymoon road-trip he and Gram planned but never got to go on.
Noelle jumps at the chance to make this one last connection with her grandmother. There's just one problem - Paul's grandson is Noelle's frustratingly handsome high-school rival Theo.
And Theo has to come, too.
It's only two weeks. Surely Noelle can survive that long? But with one car between them - and often only one bed - it doesn't take long for things to heat up...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You, With a View is a spectacular rom-com that combines irresistible charm with a strikingly tender exploration of grief. At the heart of this perfectly crafted enemies-to-lovers romance is Jessica Joyce’s delightful protagonist Noelle Shepard, and her mission to track down her recently deceased grandmother’s secret old flame. When Noelle posts a TikTok asking the internet to help find her gran’s ex-lover, she realises that the mystery man’s grandson is actually her infuriatingly handsome high school nemesis, Theo Spencer. When Theo’s grandpa suggests that the three of them embark on a gorgeous road trip around the US—retracing the route of his honeymoon that never was—Theo and Noelle struggle to ignore their undeniable chemistry. You, With a View is a heartwarming and poignant love letter to beloved family no longer with us. And romance fans: prepare to fall head over heels for Joyce’s magnetic heartthrob Theo.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Joyce debuts with an exciting tale of love, loss, and second chances. After Noelle's beloved grandmother Kathleen dies, Noelle finds a photo of a man she's never seen before among Kathleen's possessions and realizes he must have been someone her grandmother was involved with before meeting Noelle's grandfather. Recently laid off from a job she hated, Noelle has plenty of free time on her hands and sets out to solve the mystery. She posts the photo on TikTok, where the story goes viral—leading Noelle to Paul, the man in the picture, who also happens to be the grandfather of her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer. Theo, the cofounder of a popular travel app, is annoyingly successful—and gorgeous—as an adult, but as Noelle learns more about Kathleen through Paul's memories and mementos, she also grows closer to Theo. The trio decide to go on the two-week road trip that was initially planned as Kathleen and Paul's honeymoon before their hopes of eloping were dashed. The resulting travelogue across the U.S. will captivate readers—as will the growing romance between Noelle and Theo. Meanwhile, Paul's memories of Kathleen tug at the heartstrings. With crisp prose and twisty plotting, this romp should win Joyce many fans.
