Aspen Phillips loathes Bramwell Gage, her college roommate and best friend's brother. Bram clearly thinks Aspen is a poor, grasping climber, using his sister for her money and connections (despite years of friendship and proving otherwise). But when Aspen is asked to cover for her friend's rehab check-in by lying to Bram, it sets off an epic road trip vacation and it soon becomes clear that Bram has been desperately pining for Aspen, for years.

Adored the road trip vibes and the pure angst in this story. I could have done without the whole side trip to the motorcycle club that clearly ties this book in with the author's other series, but overall I very much enjoyed my first Kati Wilde!
