loved this. related sm to Juniper and tbh Lewis. Loved Juniper and Fitz. thought the sex scene was a kinda unnecessary add-on at the end and the end was very abrupt but still. story kinda made me tear up a bit.
also i loved the whole searching for colleges (been looking at most of those colleges lol!) and leaving behind the past / scary future element / all the memories coz this is me rn so... yeah loved that
also loved the sibling relationships as well. and the whole family thing. and ofc their love for books and words;)
This was def a lot deeper than some of EW+AS 's other books and I acc kinda loved that
a very bittersweet coming-of-age novel and less romcom-y and rn that was just what i wanted

This is an enchanting and adorable romance that will capture your heart. These iconic authours weave a captivating tale of love, fate, and the magic of second chances. Set on the great american road, the story follows Fitz and Juniper as they roadtrip the coast for college prospective and have a chance encounter.
Falling out of love and then falling in love, this novel is heartfelt, deep and caters to everyone struggling with letting go and moving on.
Favourite quote: “There’s a loneliness in feeling like you no longer know yourself, one that looms large when facing the enormity of the future.”

This writing pair is quickly becoming a must-read for me. I love their characters and the bittersweet-yet-hopeful tone of this (almost) college coming-of-age. Check out my full review at Forever Young Adult.

I really enjoyed this story about two high school seniors as they begin to make plans for their college futures, Juniper just wants to escape from her large family while Fitz wants to cling to his mother who will eventually develop early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Bumping into each other on the first stop of their college tours, the two are intrigued enough by each other to seek each other out at their next stops. I felt that Juniper jumped from her long-time boyfriend Matt to Fitz really quickly. I also hate how the story seemed to just suddenly stop unexpectedly for me.

This book was kind of sad for me. When I first heard about this book when penguin acquired it, I was excited.
Two teens strike up a romance on college tours? That sounded great. I was looking forward to the descriptions of colleges and witty banter, but sadly I didn’t really get either of each.
Fitz and Juniper had some cool moments and were very well fleshed out, but their arches were disappointing. I really hated juniper’a tia. She was really annoying and I didn’t like how her family was too pushy about staying close to home for college. I also thought that Fitz’s bro didn’t get a real full redemption until the end.
I don’t want to dive too dee but overall this book was lacking, which is sad because I liked these authors other two books. 2.5/5

A perfect recommendation for high school seniors! Great use of words to elevate vocabulary, characters are seniors touring college campuses in the northeast region of the US, overviews college parties and relationships. Clever and witty, romantic, but my favorite part is the genuine inner struggle you face with leaving home. A part of you wants to hold onto the familiar and another part wants to leap into all the unknowns of the world and life. Still YA, but I’d give it to a more mature high schooler with their eye on post-high school life.
