Descripción editorial
In this swoony estranged-friends-to-lovers romance, a celebrity spin instructor and her longtime crush take a spontaneous cross-country road trip that turns into an unexpected but epic party hop, and end up en route to love.
When online cycling instructor Quinn Ray has a mid-class meltdown after a bad breakup—dramatically off-brand for someone whose vibe is sunshine and rainbows—her boss orders her to take a few weeks off work. And that’s fine. In fact, a quiet road trip through America’s most tranquil scenery is exactly what she needs.
But then Nate Reed, who’s barely spoken to Quinn since their friendship imploded two years ago, asks to hitch a ride so he can reunite with their chaotically lovable pal Logan to discuss something important. Unfortunately, Logan seems to be dodging them on purpose. Meanwhile, the internet rallies so strongly behind Quinn post-breakup that her boss orders her to seize the opportunity to rebrand herself as everyone’s favorite emblem of fun, empowered singledom.
So Quinn and Nate put aside the awkwardness between them and follow Logan 450 miles to a Las Vegas nightclub. And then chase him to a rooftop rager . . . baby shower? . . . in Denver. A rain-soaked country-western music festival in Kansas. A rowdy Nashville bachelorette party. As Quinn's peaceful road trip becomes a tour of America's biggest party spots with the guy she didn't know she still wanted, she realizes Nate might just be the silver lining she never thought to look for.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Harrow (One-on-One) gracefully avoids the sophomore slump with this fun road-trip romance. Celebrity online spin instructor Quinn Ray keeps things sunny on camera, but she's frustrated by her toxic work environment. After a video of her breakup goes viral, her supervisor suggests she take a few weeks off, giving her the perfect opportunity to drive from L.A. to the Jersey Shore to visit her best friend. When her estranged former friend Nate, a swim instructor, asks to tag along, Quinn finds it too difficult to say no despite major awkwardness and unresolved feelings between them. Nate has his own agenda for the trip: he's hoping to track down their wayward mutual friend Logan, now a reality TV star, to have a serious conversation that Logan's been putting off. Though Quinn planned for a peaceful drive stopping at some national parks, the hunt for Logan leads to frequent detours, taking her and Nate to Las Vegas parties, strangers' baby showers, and country music festivals. Along the way, Quinn builds in plenty of time for Nate and Quinn to believably talk through their differences and finally act on their attraction. The result is a freewheeling romp that will please friends-to-lovers fans and armchair travelers alike.
