Publisher's summary

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.

An ALA Rainbow Book List Selection

"Rife with charm, personality, and a whole lot of puns."—BuzzFeed

* "Appropriately sweet and messy, yet wholly satisfying, this is destined to become one of the year’s best summer beach reads."—Booklist, starred review

"An engaging look at first love that gets to the heart of the feelings of indecision that come with being a teenager—especially one in love with her best friend . . . Captivating."—Kirkus Reviews

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

Love everything Jennifer Dugan writes

While I don’t love a miscommunication trope, I’ll give it a pass in YA because kids aren’t always great at communicating their feelings. This book is a friends to enemies to lovers and the journey is both fun and emotional. Jennifer Dugan writes complex queer characters and has some of the best bisexual rep in modern literature. I’m so glad to add this book to my collection.

To be young again.

I loved this book, super cute! It’s the only way I can describe it. It just makes me want to be in high school again, wanting to do it all, and then…they arrive.

Excruciatingly Painful to Get Through

This book could have been five hours shorter than it was. With the worst case of Not Talking and Misunderstandings tropes that I have come across since fanfiction.net in the mid-2000's. The narrator is also aware with how in-line with these tried and tired tropes the story falls into which *does not* excuse or exempt the exhaustion the book puts you through as the two leads continue to either not say two coherent words to each other or just Blatantly Misunderstand everything the other says. I would have had a better time slamming my head against the wall than I had dragging myself through this story.

Aggravating

It's possible to write a romcom without the overwhelming amount of misunderstanding or not having the most simple conversation. The lead points this out multiple times and then just refuses to do so. This book was a absolute slog to get through. I'm half way and feel like giving up on it. This could've been them reconnecting on this trip but no were force to listen to the immature winning of lead who thinks being a absolute snob is retribution. The Narrator is the only good thing about this book
