Book Review – Open Road Summer

Open Road Summer book coverOpen Road Summer by Emery Lord

Reagan O’Neill needs to get her life together. She is ready to leave her rebellious ways and bad boys behind. Her best friend, country superstar, Lilah Montgomery, is still nursing a broken heart after a year so when Lilah invites Reagan to join her on her summer tour, it might be the perfect opportunity for some much needed time away. But when Matt Finch joins the tour as Lilah’s opening act, Reagan finds his charm irresistible and her pledge for a drama-free summer begins to look doubtful. This fun, breezy YA romance turned out to be more about best friends Reagan and Lilah than boy meets girl. Yes, of course, there was the obligatory romantic drama but it is the loyalty between the girls that holds this novel together.

Book Reviews – YA Romance

I might have gone on a little YA romance binge, so today’s reviews are going be a slight departure from the norm. Rather than bore you with weeks of reviewing similar stories, I’m going to very briefly compare and contrast them all right now.
