RITA® Award—winning author Elia Winters delivers a sexy, playful frenemies-to-lovers road-trip romance. Megan Harris had hopes of seeing the world, but at twenty-five she’s never even left Florida. Now a wedding invitation lures her to Quebec…in February. When her ex-friend Scarlett offers to be her plus-one (yeah, that’s a whole story) and suggests they turn the journey into an epic road trip, Megan reluctantly agrees to the biggest adventure of her life. A week together in a car is a surefire way to kill a crush, and Scarlett Andrews has had a big one on Megan for years. The important thing is fixing their friendship. As the miles roll away, what starts as harmless road-trip games and rest-stop dares escalates into something like intimacy. And when a surprise snowstorm forces Megan and Scarlett to hunker down without the open road as distraction, they’ve got a bigger challenge than making it to the church on time: facing the true nature of their feelings for each other. Carina Adores is home to highly romantic contemporary love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Megan and Scarlett were best friend right up until college, when they had a falling out. Now their mutual HS friend is getting married in Quebec (far from Florida, where they live), in February. Circumstances conspire and they end up road tripping together.
A sweet story about facing the past, living in the present, and making new choices for the future. The road trip was fun and gave the characters time to show care for each other in various ways. The forced proximity made them confront their issues and deal with what was holding them back. And of course they get stuck in a cabin during a snow storm and things get heated....
It's a lovely story, I enjoyed it, but it didn't make a very strong impression on me. No particular criticisms, just didn't resonate strongly for me personally.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
0What Happens On The Road Trip... Won't Stay On The Road Trip. This was a fun road trip tale featuring classic road trip items, much angst, some increasingly hot sexy times through much of the back half (ish) of the tale, and, since it *is* a romance, a HEA to close. I'm not quite as prolific in the FF romance ARC scene as MF or MM, but this largely follows the standard romance format no matter the particular sexualities. (Though in my experience, MM tends to have the most sex for some reason.) If you like romance at all, this is definetly a book to try out. If you like road trip tales at all, this is definetly a book to try out. If you're looking for a good summer read or even trapped inside (for whatever reason ;) ) read, this is absolutely a good book to try out. Very much recommended.
