Synopsis:
Every May 7th, the students at Coffee County High School take a class trip. And every year, Lulu’s relationship with Alex Rouvelis gets a little more complicated. Freshman year they went from sworn enemies to more than friends after a close encounter in an escape room. It’s been hard for Lulu to quit Alex ever since.
Through break-ups, make-ups, and dating other people, each year’s class trip brings the pair back together and forces them to confront their undeniable connection. From the science museum to Six Flags; New York City to London, Lulu learns one thing is for sure: love is the biggest trip of all.
Review:
This story takes place on the same day every year on the high school class field trip. We see friendships and relationships grow and fall apart, with a few flashbacks throughout the year for context. I thought it was done pretty well, but with the split timeline I felt some of the emotional depth was lost. It was a bit harder to connect to the characters this way. However, it was still really cute, a quick read, and had plenty of humor throughout!
