And sometimes you just have to go where the road takes you–even if the tour bus won’t.Ībout the Author: I love reading books for children, young adults, new adults and all the old people after that.

Sometimes you meet an unexpected fellow traveler. Sometimes your parents let you down (and sometimes they don’t). As South Dakota rolls by at five miles an hour, Ariel begins to learn that sometimes life is just too complicated to fit on a postcard. She also didn’t know she’d be sending that postcard from the family vacation from hell–a two-week geriatric bus tour with her crazy mom, annoying sister, embarrassing uncle, and frighteningly energetic grandparents. Ariel Flack never thought she’d write a postcard saying Wish you were here, especially to Dylan, the boy she’s had a crush on forever and is finally (sort of) dating. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d write. The next morning we meet at the world headquarters of Leisure-Lee Tours. Stuck on an “America’s Heartland” bus tour with her family, leaving her amazing boyfriend back home, and maintaining her track-team endurance by sprinting through rest stop parking lots? Who could survive four weeks of that? But as she spends more time with the intriguing, also-miserable Andre, Ariel begins to learn that sometimes you just have to go where the road takes you-even if the tour bus won’t.It’s the weekend, finally! After about a million of test and loads of hours of studying, I get to take a small break, but I have to study for the PSAT which is coming up very soon 😦 But that isn’t stopping me from reading my books! In Wish You Were Here, Ariel is embarking on the summer vacation of a lifetime-at least, she hopes this is the only trip like this she’ll ever take. And what better way to forget about Spencer than to have the perfect summer fling with Blake, the boy living in the beach house next door? But embarking on a new romance is more difficult than she expected when her feelings for her first love aren’t exactly a thing of the past. It has been two years since she went on a trip with her three closest childhood friends-two years that she’s hoping will erase the memory of the last time she saw Spencer, the boy who broke her heart.

In Picture Perfect, Emily can’t wait to spend her summer on the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks, North Carolina. For two teenage girls in two irresistibly romantic novels it’s also a chance to learn that sometimes leaving home is the best way to find yourself. Summer vacation isn’t just about working on your tan line and flirting with the lifeguard. This bind-up features two repackaged fan-favorite novels that are sure to delight readers of Stephanie Perkins, Jennifer Echols, and, of course, Catherine Clark.
