Lauren Barnholdt

Right of Way Lauren Barnholdt

Brief Description: Told in their separate voices, seventeen-year-old Peyton convinces eighteen-year-old Jace to drive her from a Florida wedding toward her Connecticut home with the intention of staying in North Carolina rather than face her parents' marital and financial problems, while both avoid the obvious attraction they have felt since they met at Christmas. Publisher Marketing: Can a road trip repair a romance gone wrong? Find out in this standalone companion to Lauren Barnholdt's "Two-way Street." Here are Peyton and Jace, meeting on vacation. Click! It's awesome, it's easy, it's romantic. This is the real deal. Unless it isn't. Because when you're in love, you don't just stop calling one day. And you don't keep secrets. Or lie. And when your life starts falling apart, you're supposed to have the other person to lean on. Here are Peyton and Jace again, broken up but thrown together on a road trip. One of them is lying about the destination. One of them is pretending not to be leaving something behind. And neither of them is prepared for what's coming on the road ahead... Review Citations:
