The swoony yearning of Ann Liang meets the spirited friends-to-lovers charm of Rachel Lynn Solomon in this YA romance about finding your way back to love after tragedy.

Tessa's family has bounced from one home to the next for as long as she can remember, and for years, she did everything she could to stay in touch with her long-distance best friends. But after her dad died last year, she cut everyone off suddenly. Now she just wants to be left alone—no attachments, no missing anyone, no more chances to get hurt. 

Despite all that, in order to make her long-suffering mom happy during the summer before her senior year, Tessa agrees to go on a road trip through all the towns they used to live in with her meddling older sister, Jenna—who, unbeknownst to their mom, has planned this as a ghost hunting road trip for her secret YouTube channel. And the night before they leave on the trip, Jenna sends off a bunch of drafts she found sitting in Tessa's email—messages filled with Tessa’s rawest feelings that she never planned for anyone to read.  

Now Tessa will have to face all of her ex-friends in person. And to make matters worse, Justin—Tessa’s longtime crush and the recipient of one of the dreaded emails—will be joining them on the road trip. As the trip unfolds, unresolved feelings and unexpected moments bring them closer, pushing Tessa to confront what’s really keeping her from living in the present.
