A 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. A 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?

Places We've Never Been was a fun and feel-good read about friendship, love and family. I loved the road trip setting and learning about new places as the two families visited them. I wouldn't have minded a little more insight into the characters, but I appreciated the focus on the various dynamics and it was nice to see all the relationships develop over the course of the trip, especially Norah and Skyler's (obviously). The ending was a little dry, but it didn't make the book any less enjoyable. I really had a good time reading it. 3.5/5 stars!
