A sweet and swoony contemporary Young Adult novel about a cross-country family road trip that puts one girl and her childhood best friend on an unexpected road to romance!

Norah hasn’t seen her childhood best friend, Skyler, in years. When he first moved away, they’d talk all the time, but lately their relationship has been reduced to liking each other’s Instagram posts. That’s why Norah can’t wait for the joint RV road trip their families have planned for the summer.

But when Skyler finally arrives, he seems…like he’d rather be anywhere else. Hurt and confused, Norah reacts in kind. Suddenly, her oldest friendship is on the rocks.

An unexpected summer spent driving across the country leads both Norah and Skyler down new roads and to new discoveries. Before long, they are, once again, seeing each other in a different light. Can their friendship-turned-rivalry turn into something more?

My review:

Places we’ve never been was such a great read! It was hard to get into at the beginning part of the trip. I was finally able to get into it after the halfway mark and I am glad I stuck around because the magic started happening after that.

Kasie West definitely will tug readers hearts with the plot later on. I loved the fact that this was childhood friends to enemies to lovers. I am a sucker for childhood friends meeting up again in life.

This definitely had all the elements for a good young adult romance book. I liked how mature this was because of the issues that are dealt with. This was a five star rating.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for allowing me the chance to read and review.
