Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

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.

I really enjoyed the first half or so of this book but I didn't like the ending very much and that's why those stars got knocked off. I liked the idea of the super famous pop star struggling through her fame with her best friend. I liked the relationship between the two of them. It started going downhill when the main love interest came in.

I liked the romance but I didn't love it. It was mostly just a big game of "should I or shouldn't I" which got a little boring after a bit. I just didn't find that part of the story interesting at all. It was predictable and boring and couldn't hold my interest.
