"Jessica Joyce is a new and forever fave!"—Ali Hazelwood
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
One of Amazon's Best Romances of July
Two high school enemies must reunite for a road trip inspired by their grandparents’ broken engagement in this electric debut romance.
Noelle Shepard is unemployed, living with her parents, and grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother when she discovers decades-old photos of Gram and a smitten man, tucked alongside a love letter. She creates a TikTok to search for the mystery man, which goes viral, and she’s shocked when his grandson responds—a man who happens to be her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.
Noelle refuses to let Theo’s annoying accomplishments in adulthood—or his sexy smirk—stand in the way of meeting his grandfather and unlocking the secrets he knew about her gram as a young woman. When she learns that their plans to elope were thwarted, Noelle decides to take the honeymoon road trip they planned but never got to carry out. There’s a catch, though: Paul, Theo's grandfather, asks to come with her, and he insists that Theo join them.
It’ll be a miracle if they make it through the trip without Noelle throwing Theo out of the moving car—or the bed they end up sharing. As the miles tick by, the tension simmers hotter between them...until she discovers that Theo’s hiding a secret that could cause their tenuous relationship to end before it can restart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Joyce debuts with an exciting tale of love, loss, and second chances. After Noelle's beloved grandmother Kathleen dies, Noelle finds a photo of a man she's never seen before among Kathleen's possessions and realizes he must have been someone her grandmother was involved with before meeting Noelle's grandfather. Recently laid off from a job she hated, Noelle has plenty of free time on her hands and sets out to solve the mystery. She posts the photo on TikTok, where the story goes viral—leading Noelle to Paul, the man in the picture, who also happens to be the grandfather of her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer. Theo, the cofounder of a popular travel app, is annoyingly successful—and gorgeous—as an adult, but as Noelle learns more about Kathleen through Paul's memories and mementos, she also grows closer to Theo. The trio decide to go on the two-week road trip that was initially planned as Kathleen and Paul's honeymoon before their hopes of eloping were dashed. The resulting travelogue across the U.S. will captivate readers—as will the growing romance between Noelle and Theo. Meanwhile, Paul's memories of Kathleen tug at the heartstrings. With crisp prose and twisty plotting, this romp should win Joyce many fans.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant Debut!
I can already tell that Jessica Joyce will be an automatic read for me. I loved this book! I loved the way Noelle and Theo bantered and challenged each other. I deeply appreciated Noelle’s journey to come to terms with her grief. And I love a good self-awareness arc! The way Noelle learns to get back up after life knocks her down, and the way that Theo learns to set boundaries with his family is just. Perfect. Such a great book!
