Reagan Forrester wants out—out of her trailer park, out of reach of her freeloading mother, and out of the shadow of the relationship that made her the pariah of Charytan, Kansas.
Victoria Reyes wants in—in to a fashion design program, in to the arms of a cute guy who doesn’t go to Charytan High, and in to a city where she won’t stand out for being Mexican.
One thing the polar-opposite best friends do agree on is that wherever they go, they’re staying together. But when they set off on a series of college visits at the start of their senior year, they quickly see that the future doesn’t look quite like they expected. After two years of near-solitude following the betrayal of the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart, Reagan falls hard and fast for a Battlestar Galactica-loving, brilliant smile-sporting pre-med prospective… only to learn she’s set herself up for heartbreak all over again. Meanwhile, Victoria runs full-speed toward all the things she thinks she wants… only to realize everything she’s looking for might be in the very place they’ve sworn to leave.
As both Reagan and Victoria struggle to learn who they are and what they want in the present, they discover just how much they don’t know about each other’s pasts. And when each learns what the other’s been hiding, they’ll have to decide whether their friendship has a future. (Blurb taken from https://dailydahlia.wordpress.com/my-books/just-visiting-2/)
Let me start by saying, that these characters are ones that I have fallen completely in love with. I wish I was friends with these girls, they are fiercely loyal and so driven.
Reagan and Victoria go on a college road trip and while visiting their first college, Reagan meets a guy. And Reagan’s not one to fall for guys easily, she’s one of the people who kinda refuses to even acknowledge that cute boys exist. You know what I mean? We all have friends like that, at least I have one friend like that.
When they return home, Reagan is still thinking about this boy but she knows she’s never going to see him again. Somehow the two end up communicating, and find each other again.
Victoria on the other hand, is the boy crazy one. (Like myself.) And all she wants is to meet a cute guy and join a sorority. (Boy, do I know how she feels. I wish my school had Greek Life, all I want is to be in a sorority. All my friends are in sororities. Sorry, this is a little bit of a tangent.)
Together the two of them balance each other out very well. The friendship they have is one that is very real, making you feel like you’re in there with with them.
I would definitely add this to your TBR list.
