Jared Steele had his whole summer planned out. Eat. Sleep. And eat some more. And he was more than fine with that. Just lazing about in the summer. What more could you want?

Ally Cain is a total perfectionist and self proclaimed good-girl. When she finds out that a sudden move puts her original summer plans in jeopardy, she is completely thrown for a loop. She can't stand doing nothing and with a long, unoccupied summer ahead she's left with exactly that.

But life hardly ever goes according to plan.

In a sudden turn of events, Jared is forced on a road trip without a clue as to what in hell is going on and what he's doing. The unlikely duo cross paths and soon find themselves caught up in a mess of spilled cola, watermelon spitting, fat mechanics and annoying GPS systems. Sometimes things don't work out but, hey, that's life. And in life, sometimes you need to go for the detour.

|CROSSROADS x LEAP YEAR | Eighteen-year-old April Lewis flees her troubled home, desperate to escape her emotionally distant, controlling mom, and seek out her dad. Little does she know a chance encounter with her classmate will take her on a cross-country ride: a journey that will change April's life forever. A venture that will lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected love. *** When eighteen-year-old April Lewis' mom walks around like a zombie, evades all attempts to talk and controls her every move, April decides she's had enough. She leaves home one warm summer evening with nothing but a yellow backpack filled with her coveted dad's letters he's been sending her for the past months, and some bare necessities. She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her. After making sure April is just a little banged-up, Dave strikes a deal with her: he'll help her get to the West Coast free of charge, as long as she doesn't report him to the cops. The two embark upon a road trip from NY to LA, navigating through stunning landscapes and meeting a colorful cast of characters. While sharing life stories and exchanging experiences, armed with the wisdom from her Dad's letters, April and Dave discover that they are a lot more alike than they originally thought. The journey slowly becomes more important than the destination, and their path takes an unexpected turn when a shocking secret comes to light. © 2024 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 4!
