Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
Thoughts at a glance: **** (I really liked it) Summary: After a disastrous ending to a relationship with a bad-news guy (and basically a lifetime of bad choices), Reagan is more than ready to hit the road for the summer with her best friend, Dee... aka, teen country superstar Lilah Montgomery. Dee, also dealing with her own broken heart on top of the pressures of fame and her career, is headlining her first major US tour. When a particularly harmful tabloid news story drops, the girls are joined by Dee's new opening act, Matt Finch. The plan is for the media to start gossiping about Dee and Matt, but it's Reagan who catches his eye, and it's not long before sparks begin to fly. But Reagan has been conditioned to expect the worst from almost everyone in her life, including herself, and therefore, the walls she has built up seem impenetrable, and if she allows Matt to break down those walls, she's worried that her heart will be the next thing to break.
