Summary
15-year-old Louis spends a month in France as part of a student exchange and stays with the Lioncourt family. He and Lestat immediately become friends, then best friends, and then more than friends.
When something unexpected happens, they start talking less and less and eventually go back to strangers. That is until Louis finds out that Lestat is moving to the US for college. There’s no chance that they both end up living and studying in San Francisco.
But that’s exactly what happens, against all odds.

Summary
Tess shot her a tired look. “He hunts alone. It’s not personal.”
“It’s not just the hunting. It’s everything. You saw how he was at the rest stop.” Ellie made her voice deep, imitating Joel’s southern accent. “Put that back cause I said so—over a fucking necklace. Like, what’s next? He gets mad at my backpack?”
—————Ellie, Joel, and Tess learn to live on the road together without wringing each other's necks in the process. Ellie is feral, Joel is savage, and Tess is trying to get everyone to Wyoming in one piece.
Set during the 3-month timeskip before winter. There are wonderful character arcs and nice campfire scenes, but it gets dramatic as hell—buckle up.

Summary
It was a really stupid plan, if Joel was being honest. Dangerous too. He’d advise against it if it was his happy-go-lucky commune. But when one of Jackson’s kids got sick, the kind of sick that couldn’t be cured by tea and time, and Tommy had asked Joel for a favor, he’d agreed without hesitation.

Summary
Joel stares at her. Her eyes are bright, so youthful it hurts, but with a shadow of maturity that feels uncomfortable on her juvenile face. She’s still waiting expectantly, still dripping a puddle onto the floor as she grips the grab rail with one hand, fingers jittery against her jeans on the other. Who is letting her ride public transport alone like this? Who is letting her get lost and have to ask a man she doesn't know for help?
Joel forces down the thoughts racing through his head, rapid beat to a butterfly’s wings. This girl is none of his goddamn business.
...

Summary
Joel turns and peers cautiously down the alley. In the fading light he can make out three figures, teenage boys if he had to guess, in a semi-circle around a kneeling figure. Their head turns and Joel catches sight of a brown ponytail between the boys’ legs, a flash of a knife gripped in a hand.
One of them steps forward and kicks her in the shoulder, sending her sprawling backwards. She scrambles back to her feet, knife outstretched in front of her, teeth bared. If she wasn’t so goddamn small, Joel would think she was more than capable of handling herself against these guys, but they’ve each got probably half a foot and fifty pounds on her, and he finds himself walking closer.
