It's the summer after senior year of high school for Carson, Noemi, and Eleanor, and they intend to live it up while they can. What could be more epic than a cross-country road trip to see Taylor Swift in concert? Along the way, the friends pick up a mysterious and charming guy who is stranded at a rest stop (is that a James Dean daydream look in his eyes?). As she and Carson hit it off, Carson gets a crash course in love-at-first sight. But as attractions grow, so, too, do tensions among the friends. Will the group make it to the concert with relationships intact? Or is there too much bad blood?

At its core, a novel about the power and possibility of friendships, sprinkled with just enough romance and set against the ultimate summer playlist, this lighthearted read is both a quintessential teen romance and coming-of-age novel that will stay with readers long after Taylor sings her last note.
