We're Never Getting Home by Tracy Badua
3.0
challenging medium-paced

This was a YA that takes place overnight at a music festival. Jana and Maddy are best friends but they had a huge fight and haven't been close lately. They were meant to go to this concert together and since they weren't talking..... But when Jana's ride shows up, Maddy is there anyway.

When the driver Nathan loses the keys while crowd surfing, Jana's night goes from bad to worse.... Trying to find the keys in a huge crowd, fighting with Maddy, losing Nathan's younger brother... All while needing to get home to bring her dad back from a work thing because her mom doesn't drive at night after getting in a car accident.... She will have to learn and teach others that sometimes things happen that are out of anyone's control. 

At least it gives Maddy and Jana a chance to fight..... This time to preserve their friendship. There are two timelines so we get to see a bit of what led to the huge fight. I just wish Jana was a little less uptight.
