| Summary, Etc. |
"Ren Gylden is accustomed to a quiet-if lonely-life. Raised in isolation by her strict naturalist parents in the wilderness of the Boundary Waters, her days have been filled with a usual lineup of fishing, painting, studying, and hiking. So from her very first step onto the Dartmouth College campus, Ren is certain this is when her life will begin. Then a routine assignment in her genetics class reveals that the man who raised her is not her biological father, and she may have a happy cluster of siblings halfway across the country. With the rosy shine on Ren's isolated childhood now cast in a shadow, Ren enlists help finding the other half of her family from Edward "Fitz" Fitzsimons-lab partner, senior heartthrob, and owner of a Mustang able to make the 2100-mile journey. But Ren and Fitz could not be more different: Along with her bright enthusiasm, Ren brings snacks, sing-along playlists, and a book of road trip games, while Fitz was fervently hoping to sit in his silent, personal bubble the entire time. Through a series of catastrophes and antics, the world somehow shifts, and the two realize that, maybe, the dreams they've both been chasing have been sitting next to them the whole time"-- Provided by publisher.
