Ten years ago, Ben Porter and Dee Williams had an argument that ended their friendship. Ben is infamous on Dee's popular podcast as "Name Redacted," but they haven't spoken since - until he shows up without warning at Dee's front door, asking her to go on the road trip they promised to take together ten years ago. Ben has a secret, and Dee's basically a professional at getting people to tell those to her, but is all of this too much pressure on a friendship that's just been resurrected - and might be headed towards something more?

I didn't expect to love this one as much as I did! It's tender and laugh out loud funny, with top-notch banter and podcast transcript interstitials.  It's such a pleasure to watch Ben and Dee gently work through what drove them apart a decade ago, and what's keeping them apart even now. I think some things, particularly their relationships with their parents, could have been zipped up a little tighter, but the whole thing is such a fun ride (get it? because it's a road trip?) that there's little room for complaint. My first Bridget Morrissey and definitely not my last!

Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC!
