Norah is a 17 year old high school junior Caucasian artist who dreams of being a videogame designer and has an interview at her dream college in Seattle. Before that can happen, she has to survive a cross-country RV trip with her mom & brother, and her childhood best friend�s family. But both Norah and Skyler don�t click like they used to and it seems like everyone in Norah�s life is keeping secrets.

Light and fluffy, like the best cotton candy. It was a pretty quick read and just a hint of emotional depth as Norah navigates her changing relationships. I was slightly annoyed by how long it took to find out the big reveal that was hinted at throughout the story, but I could see how it would drive some readers to devour the story. This would be a nice, clean, sweet romcom to add to your classroom library, but don�t expect more depth than there is.
