Fitz Holton vows to stay close to home for college while Juniper Ramirez can't wait to get as far away as possible. Fitz will not leave his single mother who is battling early onset Alzheimer's. Juniper is practically running away from her crowded family of five younger siblings. They both set off on their own week long adventure touring colleges, when their paths unexpectedly cross. Each will learn many lessons and make decisions they least expected.
The struggles these two characters are faced with will help readers connect to this book immediately. Decisions are hard to make when you are 18 years old which makes this book even more essential. The love story that slowly develops between Fitz and Juniper is very endearing and the connection they both share with their family is very sincere and familiar to most. I loved the lessons taught and learned throughout this novel. Students will really enjoy it.
