An epic road-trip romance from NYT-bestselling author of TikTok sensation The Summer of Broken Rules, inspired by the 80s classic, Ferris Buellers Day Off.
Graduation is fast approaching for straight-A student, Grace Barbour. But all she can think about is mending the fractured friendship trio of her best friend, Isa, and former friend, Everett. The trick is getting them all in the same place at the same time (and trying to ignore the fact that seeing Everett makes her heart skip a beat ).
Taking a page from her brother James' playbook, Grace decides that an unsanctioned Senior Skip Day is what they need. Convincing Isa to go along on the adventure is one thing, kidnapping Everett from school another, and avoiding James catching on is a true miracle
Four friends. One day off. A whole heap of trouble this is the perfect love story for readers to escape with this summer and ticks all the boxes for fans of Carley Fortune, Lynn Painter and Emily Henry.
