Goodreads Summary:
After breaking up with her
bad-news boyfriend, Reagan O’Neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways
behind. . . and her best friend, country superstar Lilah Montgomery, is nursing
a broken heart of her own. Fortunately, Lilah’s 24-city tour is about to kick
off, offering a perfect opportunity for a girls-only summer of break-up ballads
and healing hearts. But when Matt Finch joins the tour as its opening act, his
boy-next-door charm proves difficult for Reagan to resist, despite her vow to
live a drama-free existence. This summer, Reagan and Lilah will navigate the
ups and downs of fame and friendship as they come to see that giving your heart
to the right person is always a risk worth taking. A fresh new voice in contemporary
romance, Emery Lord’s gorgeous writing hits all the right notes.
My
Thoughts:
I will admit I remember
seeing this book on Netgalley and thought too contemporary for me and I never
requested it. Man, did I eat my words, Open Road Summer was amazing and
adorable! I kept seeing reviews all over and every single one I saw was
completely adorable. It is the perfect book for summer and it makes me want to
go on a road trip right now! It was everything that I hoped it would be and so
much more. It is one of those books I wish I could unread so that I could read
it all over again.
Reagan O’Neill wants to
change being rebellious and getting into trouble has caught up with her and
lucky enough for her, her best friend Dee or Lila Montegomery country music
starlet is starting her first solo tour and it gives her the opportunity to
have the best girls only summer. But, little does she know that when Matt Finch
joins the tour as it’s opening act everything will change.
Reagan was such a great
narrator, she was sarcastic, tough, and she didn’t let anyone in easily. She loves
photography and I could see the beautiful pictures she could take inside my own
head just as easily. I loved the relationship between Dee and Reagan, they were
so different from each other. But, they were the perfect friends to each other.
Dee was getting over her first love, he let her go because he felt like he was
holding her back and she was living her dream of having a music career. It was
sweet and adorable and perfect.
Matt Finch, he was adorable I
loved him so much. He was a part of a band with his brothers which reminded me
of the Jonas Brothers and he was a great guy, he treated Dee like a sister and
was always there when she needed him. When he and Reagan first met I loved the
back and forth between the two of them their banter was just adorable. They
were exactly what each other needed and it made it that much more adorable.
Overall, Open Road Summer is
the absolutely perfect summer read. It has everything the perfect contemporary
for someone like me needs, love friendship, heartbreak, but it’s too heavy. I
absolutely loved it and recommend it for everyone. YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!
