Emily ha deciso di correre qualche rischio per trascorrere l’estate più travolgente della sua vita. Prima di Sloane, Emily non andava alle feste, parlava a malapena con i ragazzi, non aveva mai fatto niente di folle. Ma Sloane, un vero e proprio “tornado sociale”, è la migliore amica che si possa avere e l’ha tirata fuori dal suo guscio. Eppure, poco prima di quella che doveva essere un’estate epica, Sloane... scompare. Lascia solo una misteriosa lista con tredici cose, alquanto bizzarre, che Emily dovrà fare. Per esempio: “Cogli le mele di notte”. Va bene, abbastanza facile. “Balla fi no all’alba”. Perché no? “Bacia uno sconosciuto”. Che cosa?! Ma senza Sloane, Emily potrà farcela? Chissà cosa succederà, con tutta un’estate davanti e l’inaspettato aiuto dell’affascinante Frank Porter...

When you're on a road trip, life is all about the detours. . . . Amy Curry is having a terrible year. Her mother has decided to move across the country and needs Amy to get their car from California to Connecticut. There's just one small problem: Since her father died this past spring, Amy hasn't been able to get behind the wheel. Enter Roger, the nineteen-year-old son of an old family friend, who turns out to be unexpectedly cute ... and dealing with some baggage of his own. Meeting new people and coming to terms with her father's death were not what Amy had planned on this trip. And traveling the Loneliest Road in America, seeing the Colorado mountains, crossing the Kansas plains, and visiting diners, dingy motels, and Graceland were definitely not on the itinerary. But as they drive, Amy finds that the people you least expected are the ones you may need the most—and that sometimes you have to get lost in order to find your way home.

Emily ahora se enfrenta a un verano lleno de sorpresas, aunque contará con la ayuda inesperada de Frank Porter para tachar elementos de la lista de Sloane. ¿Nadar desnuda? Espera... ¿qué?
