Two Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt
There are two sides to every breakup.
This is Jordan and Courtney, totally in love. Sure, they were an unlikely high school couple. But they clicked; it worked. They're even going to the same college, and driving cross-country together for orientation.
Then Jordan dumps Courtney -- for a girl he met on the Internet.
It's too late to change plans, so the road trip is on. Courtney's heartbroken, but figures she can tough it out for a few days. La la la -- this is Courtney pretending not to care.
But in a strange twist, Jordan cares. A lot.
Turns out, he's got a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other.
I was really excited about this novel and had very high expectations for which it lived up to magnificently. Lauren has a way of captivating you with her words
The characters were well developed and you could really relate to their longing. They both wanted each other, but they couldn't admit it to each other.. I was crying at times because it was just hard to imagine being in their position..
Courtney and Jordan were meant to be, fated for each other.. but everything was keeping them apart.. until they reach out for each other and start over.. facing their lives. One step at a time.
A good read. Nothing AMAZING, but still quite enjoyable
