ROADTRIP BOOK!!! Rosie has been sent on a roadtrip with her responsible neighbor Matty and his 2 friends so that she can put distance between her and her ex. There's been a little restraining order slapped on her for stalkerish behavior, so distance might be a good thing.... only Rosie doesn't want distance, she wants to fix things with her ex. But the more miles that fly by on the roadtrip, the less she's thinking about going home. I don't know who does PR for this book, but they're doing a good job!! I've been seeing this book everywhere for the past few months and I'm really excited to read it!
