Kissing in America
By Margo Rabb
Release Date: May 26, 2015

Summary: In the two years since her father died, sixteen-year-old Eva has found comfort in reading romance novels—118 of them, to be exact—to dull the pain of her loss that’s still so present. Her romantic fantasies become a reality when she meets Will, who seems to truly understand Eva’s grief. Unfortunately, after Eva falls head-over-heels for him, he picks up and moves to California without any warning. Not wanting to lose the only person who has been able to pull her out of sadness—and, perhaps, her shot at real love—Eva and her best friend, Annie, concoct a plan to travel to the west coast to see Will again. As they road trip across America, Eva and Annie confront the complex truth about love.  

In this honest and emotional journey that National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr calls “gorgeous, funny, and joyous,” readers will experience the highs of infatuation and the lows of heartache as Eva contends with love in all of its forms.

-------------------------------------

It's a road trip!! I love road trip novels and the road trip that Eva embarks on sounds like it's definitely going to be an interesting and emotional one. I really hope this novel builds on Eva and Annie's relationship because novels about friendships are the best when done well. Oh, and I can't forget to mention how awesome it is that Eva loves romance novels and uses them to escape from the world. I totally share that obsession with romance novels! Haha, but that connection aside, I really like the sound of this one, not to mention the awesome cover, and can't wait for it to come out!
