Jack and Nate both expected to have a fantastic senior prom. Jack was going with the boy of his dreams; Nate was finally going to be able to come out and be himself. However, things couldn't stray further from their plans. When it's revealved that both Jack and Nate's boyfriends were secretly seeing each other, they're both devastated. Especially when they both start posting their perfect summer break online.

So, Jack and Nate decide to have their own summer of fun, in the form of a road trip. To get revenge on their exes, they post pictures of their summer of adventure online. But the more time they spend with each other, the more they start to fall for each other. Maybe there's a new romance on the horizon.

Thanks to NetGalley and Clarion Books for an advanced copy of this to review! I always love a good rom-com, and this 100% fits the bill. The characters were fun, there are some downright laugh out loud moments, and it's just all around a good time.

Jack and Nate complement each other so well in this. Nate is shy and a bit awkward, while Jack is not afraid to fully be himeself, all the time. Which definitely paints him as a target at school. Their chemistry was fantastic, and I loved how hard Jack worked to try to get Nate past his heartbreak. It was honestly one of the best parts of the book.

There are some great supporting characters, and the whole road trip idea will make this a super fun summer read. Fans of Becky Albertalli will definitely love this, too!
