Publisher's summary

Summer 1960

After years of scraping by, Caleb Murphy has graduated from college and is finally getting to start a new life. Except he suddenly has no way to get from Boston to Los Angeles. Then, to add to his misery, there’s perfect, privileged Peter Cabot offering to drive him. Caleb can’t refuse, even though the idea of spending a week in the car with a man whose luggage probably costs more than everything Caleb owns makes him want to scream.

Peter Cabot would do pretty much anything to skip out on his father’s presidential campaign, including driving across the country with a classmate who can’t stand him. After all, he’s had plenty of practice with people not liking him much - his own family, for example. The farther Peter gets from his family’s expectations, the more he starts to think about what he really wants, and the more certain he becomes that what he wants is more time with prickly, grumpy Caleb Murphy.

As they put more miles between themselves and their pasts, they both start to imagine a future where they can have things they never thought possible.

Loved the road trip and vibey mood of this

Definitely a vibey road trip with a himbo and a prickly MC. There was so much bickering on classism in this, but it didn't feel like much was said somehow? Nothing was changed, the MC's both had valid reasoning behind how they viewed and used money. There was a lot of emphasis on it, and like most of my complaints with Cat Sebastian's reads - Get this dang plot out of my vibe read!! (/joking)

Hearing about Flagstaff made me a bit nostalgic and want to move back to AZ. I loved the himbo energy.

So many feelings!

This is so lovely! There is very little plot, it's a roadtrip, afterall, but it is so satisfying! Great characters that felt very real, the romance was sweet and believable. Great narration from Joel, really fit the mood of the book.

Like a Hug

What a wonderful, sweet story. Cat Sebastian does it again. She has a way of making you completely vulnerable to falling in love with her characters and Joel Leslie’s narration is flawless. Here is hoping for a sequel.

So-so book

Narrator has an annoyingly breathy voice, which detracts from the average story of two 1950’s college grads falling in love.

Disappointing

Repetitive. Angst interspersed with sex. Sex interspersed with angst. There was no reason for their relationship to resolve, except for escalating intimacy in bed. And because they reached California! Conversations and thought bubbles had the same tenor throughout. I ended up skipping a lot of it. I usually love Cat Sebastian. Hope I can get my credit back.
