Open Road Summer

by Emery Lord

A contemporary romance that hits all the right notes - the gorgeous first novel by Emery Lord, author of When We Collided, The Names They Gave Us and the Zoella & Friends 2017 Book Club title The Start of Me and You.

After finishing with her bad-news boyfriend, Reagan O'Neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways behind. Reagan's best friend and country superstar Lilah Montgomery is about to kick off her 24-city tour, and Lilah is nursing a broken heart of her own - so this is a perfect opportunity for a girls-only summer of break-up ballads and healing hearts.

But when Matt Finch joins the tour as its opening act, his boy-next-door charm proves difficult for Reagan to resist, despite her vow to live a drama-free existence ...

This summer, Reagan and Lilah will navigate the ups and downs of fame and friendship as they come to see that giving your heart to the right person is always a risk worth taking.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven, Jandy Nelson and Rainbow Rowell.

But I want to be able to go get coffee with him when he’s home from school and hear about his life. I want to text him when I see something that reminds me of him. I want to leave that door cracked open, because what if we do decide we want to walk through it someday?


— Cute summer roadtrip romance. The main character hating and slut-shaming girls other than her best friend though? Not cute.
