From the author of Labor of Love and The Boyfriend League comes another novel of fun, friends, boys, and summer, perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins, Lauren Barnholdt, and Susane Colasanti.

Megan Holloway has found the perfect summer job working at Thrill Ride amusement park on Lake Erie. She’ll get to be on her own—in a dormitory with the other park employees—and play by her own rules. The only bad part is that her dreamy new boyfriend has to stay back home in Texas. But they can survive three months apart, right? And Megan can resist Parker, her incredibly hot coworker . . . right?

• Love Triangle: Megan is loyal to her boyfriend back home in Texas. But when she’s working side-by-side with Parker every day, loyalty gets complicated.
• Long Distance Relationship: Three months apart is a long time. Megan is sure her love for Nick can survive the summer, but late-night phone calls can’t compete with the guy who’s right there.
• Forced Proximity: Working at an amusement park means you’re never alone. Especially when your hot coworker Parker is always just one ride—or one shared break—away.
• Amusement Park Romance: From rollercoaster test runs at dawn to late nights on the beach at Lake Erie, this isn’t just a summer job—it’s the thrill ride of a lifetime.
