A second chance YA romance about navigating familial expectations, dreams/desires and young love. found Kaylee so easy to connect with on a personal level as someone who was so busy in high school but also for other readers I found so many of her characteristics easy to imagine others being able to understand.
I'm sure many of us at all ages count down the days to a yearly family vacation, a rest from the real world but THIS year, Kaylee has broken up with her boyfriend, who also happens to be a part of her family's best friends who they go on the trip with each year. With the expectations her sport, social media and family have put on her she's worried about Dean's reaction to being on vacation with her ruining the trip, and comes up with a plan to teach him how to get over her. Very cute, endearing, sweet, NEVER VACATION WITH YOUR EX captures the hardships of meeting expectations and protecting oneself from heartache by avoiding risks. The story developed Kaylee more than Dean, but seeing their romance blossom throughout their friendship turned lovers turned exes turned friendship turned lovers was heartwarming.
