Description: "Jojo Emerson-Boyd should be on the fast track to her own wildly successful racing career. Instead, she's spending the seemingly endless summer working at her grandmother's auto shop in the small town of Dell's Hollow. Everything changed when Jojo lost her mom, a celebrity NASCAR racer, in a tragic racing accident. Now, according to her dad, even getting her license is out of the question, so she might as well forget about racing. For the first time, her future seems foggy. But something comes into focus when Eliana "El" Blum turns up at the shop with an adorable scowl, a tough-girl vibe, and a mystery to solve."--Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes:
"The authenticity of the characters' emotions and the sweetness of their romance will surely capture many hearts [...] A high-speed queer romance."
--Kirkus Reviews
"[A] whirlwind romance based on understanding and empathy. This fast-paced read by Pacton and Podos, told via the teens' alternating perspectives, perceptively balances grief and levity in the form of an easy-to-root-for romance."
--Publishers Weekly
"Complete with street racing and a car heist, it is a worthy homage to Letty Ortiz--the girls' mutual crush. [...] Teens who like fast cars and simmering romance will appreciate this perfect beach read or road trip sidekick."
--Booklist
--Roselle Lim, author of Natalie Tan's Book of Luck and Fortune and Night for Day "When it's not snort-out-loud funny, it's I'm-not-crying-you're-crying poignant, and El and Jojo are both fully realized characters from the beginning--complex, and completely loveable. And the kissing scenes . . . look, just read it. Thank me later."
