I was honestly swooning, and the chemistry between these two characters was utter perfection while also being so damn believable. I for sure wouldn’t say this is a survival story, but there are some high risks that really kept me on the edge of my seat.īut obviously romance blooms and I couldn’t get enough of this story. You all probably see where this is going, but what I didn’t see coming is them getting lost in the woods and becoming somewhat dependent on one another to survive. And because of a sudden unexpected turn of events, he is also going on the glamping trip, even though him and Zorie haven’t spoken as friends in a long while. ➽ Lennon - Biracial, nerdy, and so very into hiking and camping. Zorie is also dealing with a probable secret that her father has been harboring, when she unexpectedly gets some of his mail. ➽ Zorie - Obsessed with all things astronomy, and even though she has been isolating herself from her old friends, when she gets the opportunity to go glamping with them, she takes it as an opportunity to shoot the stars and accepts. But, friends, I promise you, this is the best boy next door story I’ve read maybe ever.

The families used to be close with one another, but a secret falling out has led to them not speaking at all.

And the other family owns some sort of health medical practice, where the father is embarrassed to be so close to a sex shop, while the mother and daughter do not care in the slightest. One family is two sapphic women and their son, who own a sex shop, unapologetically. Friends, this made my heart so very happy, and now I just want to read any and everything that Jenn Bennett has written and will write.īasically, this is a story about two families, who live right next to each other, who also have places of business right next to each other. From the beautiful romance, to the masterful different family dynamic depictions, to just having a story that made me smile on almost every page.

Best YA Contemporary I’ve read ever? Perhaps. Sometimes it can even be filled with extraordinary potential.”īest YA Contemporary I’ve read all year? Yes. And the best part about it is that it's unfinished. But I wouldn't change the route, because we walked it together, even when we were apart.

It's years in the making, and it's messy and convoluted, some of it even tragic.
