The Map of Nova and Dev

One guy. One girl. One life-changing road trip.

Set to road trip across the U.S. for college with her best friend, Nova Pratt’s plans are disrupted at the last minute, leaving her scrambling for a solution.

Devin Hawthorne’s sister has an idea. Hitch a ride to California with her close friend, Nova. Who knows? It might end up an unforgettable adventure.

From minute one, he pushes her buttons and mocks her carefully prepared list of Amazon UStourist stops, convincing her to toss the plan and live a little. One detour after another, their walls fade, and a friendship forms. But as they near their destination, their feelings entangle, and what began as light and carefree ends in tears and a bombshell discovery.

Years later, they’re paving different paths, but with close family ties, they’re unable to forget the past as their lives continuously intersect. They may no longer be kids, but when will Nova and Devin grow up enough to realize that time is irrelevant when the one you want has been there all along?
