Melt With You

By: Jennifer Dugan

Narrated by: Jeremy Carlisle Parker

From the author of Some Girls Do and Hot Dog Girl comes a sweet and salty queer YA rom-com about two girls on a summer road trip in an ice cream truck.

Fallon is Type A, looks before she leaps, and always has a plan (and a backup plan).

Chloe is happy-go-lucky, flies by the seat of her pants, and always follows her bliss.

The two girls used to be best friends, but last summer they hooked up right before Chloe left for college, and after a series of misunderstandings, they aren’t even speaking to each other.

A year later, Chloe’s back home from school, and Fallon is doing everything in her power to avoid her. Which is especially difficult because their moms own a business together—a gourmet ice cream truck where both girls work.

When a meeting with some promising potential investors calls their parents away at the last minute, it’s up to Fallon to work a series of important food truck festivals across the country. But she can’t do it alone, and Chloe is the only one available to help.

Tensions heat up again between the two girls as they face a few unexpected detours—and more than a little roadside attraction. But maybe, just maybe, the best things in life can’t always be planned.

Keeps you entertained throughout and I cried a little bit just a little. Awesome listen

I love this

Hard to find good wlw stories that are appropriate for my age and this author continues to delight me with amazing stories and fantastic voice narrators

The Main Character... omg.... just stop

Here is my issue. I LOVE Jennifer Dugan books. Ive read so many of them. But the whole book is just the main character complaining... whining.. and being some crazy person. I understand, its a personality trait. But I felt like the whole book was just arguing, complaining, and just crazy.

Awesome book

I liked this book due to the fact that it was similar to real life when it came to Fallon and Chloe. Do you ever see yourself going on a road trip with your best friend when she isn’t your best friend at the moment? This book starts out the beginning of summer When Chloe is coming back from college and Fallon is working at her moms ice cream truck Fallon is mad at Chloe but parents do things teenagers don’t ever expect. If you wanna know what happens to Fallon and Chloe, you must read this book. spoiler it is a LGBTQIA+ kind of book! Really good finished it in 7 days

Best slow burn ever

It was the type of slow burn that makes you want to bash your head against the wall and come back and bash you head more as a zombie! But the ending was worth how frustrating the main couple is!
