When Lola hits the road to Florida for her big fashion design break, her best friend Patrick jumps at the chance to join her—except he's been quietly nursing feelings for her for years. As miles blur beneath them and they navigate cramped hotel rooms and unexpected detours, Lola starts seeing Patrick in an entirely new light, while he wrestles with finally confessing the truth that could change everything between them. This is a swoony, genuine enemies-to-lovers (except they were never enemies!) story about two people discovering that sometimes the person you've been waiting for has been in the passenger seat all along.
