Two teenage runaways. One vintage Mustang. A life-changing road trip. So strap in, because this is going to be one hell of a ride. Jessie ‘Mouse’ Swift needs to get out of Seattle. A few days ago she admitted wanting her abusive stepfather dead — only to come home and find his murdered body. When a girl from school offers Jessie a lift in her vintage red Mustang, they end up on an unexpected journey across America. Brooke Summer is everything Jessie is not: popular, confident, wealthy and heart-stoppingly beautiful — and Jessie has been in love with her from afar for years. But Brooke is carrying secrets of her own . . . With the police and more sinister pursuers on their trail, how long can Jessie and Brooke stay ahead before they are caught? And as their friendship becomes something more, can they find a future worth running towards? A coming-of-age thriller-romance, perfect for fans of Holly Jackson, Casey McQuiston and Tess Sharpe, with a nod to Thelma & Louise and Drive-Away Dolls.
