YA
In this breezy contemporary novel, wild child Ruby and straight-laced Kaz are best friends recovering from recent break-ups. In alternating narration, Kaz and Ruby detail their trip to a music festival, where sex, drinking, and exes stir up trouble. Although the ensuing drama threatens the British teens' tight bond, their conflicts are wrapped up a bit too neatly by the end of the long weekend.
