Bookroo's summary
Libby dreams of a perfect first kiss before freshman year ends, but her parents' sudden move to nowhere shatters her plans. Struggling with the upheaval, she questions if happiness lies in meticulous planning or embracing the unexpected. As her world turns upside down, Libby must decide if letting go of her plans could lead to the happiness—and the kiss—she's been longing for. Will she find joy in the chaos, or will her dreams slip away with the move?
From the publisher
One summer day, Libby and her best friend hatch a plan: Before their freshman year is over, they will each have a serious kiss. Libby even has the boy picked out. But Libby’s too-crazy-to-believe parents have another plan: They’re moving. To the middle of nowhere. Far from Libby’s friends, all hope of a normal life, and kissing, serious or otherwise.Just when things are completely falling apart, Libby starts to wonder, Is being happy really about a perfect plan? And if she stops planning, could that be the key to happiness – and to a perfect, incredible, wonderful, serious kiss?
