Overview

Age range 14+ When Mari hails a Ryde to a music festival, the last thing she expects is for the car to pick up a gorgeous guy along the way. Mari doesn't believe in dating-it can only end with a broken heart, like it did for her parents. Besides, she's only staying at her dad's house in Chicago for the weekend. How close can you get to a guy in three days? TJ wants to study art in college, but his family's expectations cast a long shadow over his dreams. When he meets Mari in the back of a rideshare, he feels alive for the first time in a long time. Mari and TJ enter the festival together and share an electric moment but get separated in a crowd with seemingly no way to find each other. When fate reunites them (with a little help from a viral hashtag), they'll have to decide: was it love at first sight, or the start of nothing more than a weekend fling? 'Edgy, exciting, and grounded in respect.' — Kirkus Reviews

Edgy, exciting, and grounded in respect. - Kirkus Reviews A satisfying summer read that explores coming-of-age, falling in love, and the importance of staying true to yourself...a modern spin on such a popular trope [the 'meet-cute] helps this book stand out from its peers. - The Tempest Teens who enjoy reading about relationships will root for Mari and T.J. as they work to understand their relationship and their own journey of self-discovery. Recommended for purchase. - School Library Journal Kenneally does a great job of bringing the vibrancy of Chicago to life. Readers will sigh and swoon over the love-at-first-rideshare that develops over a long weekend in the big city. - Booklist Absolute love for this book! - Kate Towery, Fountain Bookstore (Richmond, VA)
