The soulful longing of You've Reached Sam meets the sweet friends-to-lovers romance of Seoulmates in this YA romance about finding the strength to go on after tragedy strikes.
Tessa's family has bounced from one home to the next for as long as she can remember. Despite this, she prioritizes staying in touch with her long-distance best friends—until her dad dies and she goes radio silent. Now all Tessa wants is to be left alone—no attachments, no missing anyone, no more chances to get hurt.
But in order to make her long-suffering mom happy, she agrees to go on a road trip through all the towns they used to live in with her meddling girlboss older sister, Jenna—who, unbeknownst to their mom, has planned this as a ghost hunting road trip for her secret YouTube channel. Unfortunately for Tessa, the night before they leave on the trip, Jenna sends off a bunch of drafts she found sitting in Tessa's email—messages Tessa wrote pouring her heart out to her friends but never planned for anyone to read.
Now Tessa will have to face all of her ex-friends in person. And to make matters worse, their former neighbor, Justin—secretly Tessa’s years-long crush, and the recipient of one of the dreaded emails—was visiting schools nearby, and could use a ride home. Too bad not speaking to each other for almost a year hasn’t done anything to change Tessa’s feelings...
