Klappentext zu „Places We've Never Been “
A sweet and swoony contemporary Young Adult novel about a cross-country family road trip that puts one girl and her childhood best friend on an unexpected road to romance!Norah Simons’s summer road trip is going to be absolutely perfect. She’s leaving California for the first time in her life. She’s interviewing at her dream college (the place for future video game animators). And she’s reconnecting with her childhood friend, Skyler Hutton—the boy who taught her to draw, the boy she’s never forgotten about after all these years. What could go wrong?
Cue the RV filled with three siblings, two moms, one bathroom, and years of memories, and suddenly this trip isn’t quite the vacation Norah was hoping for—especially when Skyler makes it clear he would rather be anywhere but here. But Norah isn’t one to give up without a fight. And as the families travel from desert heat to mountain vista, sparks begin to fly between these two ex–best friends—after all, friendship doesn’t just fade away. Does it?
Kasie West delivers another romantic and heartfelt story of family, first love, and how expanding your horizons can take you places you’ve never dreamed of.
Lese-Probe zu „Places We've Never Been “
Chapter 1Norah, breathe, Willow said with a laugh. I swear I ve never seen you this excited in my life. I m starting to get jealous.
I swatted her arm with a folded blue sweatshirt, then added it to the open suitcase on my bed. You should be jealous, I teased. He was my best friend for most of my life. You only just passed three years.
I think was is the key word there.
She was right, of course. I hadn t seen Skyler since the summer before eighth grade. That s when he and his family moved across the country to Ohio. We d Snapped and messaged and texted a lot that first year, but every year since, we d drifted more and more apart until we basically had zero communication. Now all we did was occasionally like each other s posts on Instagram.
I was kidding, Willow said. Bring back your super-cute excited face. Tell me more about taking over Pokémon gyms and gummy worm dioramas and video game marathons and how you did all this without kissing this boy, not even once.
I laughed. He left when we were thirteen.
And?
I dug through the top drawer of my dresser and scooped up a handful of socks. I threw them in the air like confetti. And now he s coming back!
For three weeks, she reminded me. Where you will be crammed in an RV together. Sounds --she picked up a sock ball from where it had landed on the floor next to her and half-heartedly threw it in the air-- fun?
This trip is going to be amazing. I get to see my childhood best friend. I get to visit my future college. It s like my past --I held up my left hand-- and my future --I held up my right-- are coming together! I joined my hands in a dramatic clap.
What did you just do with your hands? That didn t look good. Are you getting in a major traffic accident on this trip?
I frowned at my hands, which were still clasped, fingers intertwined. No, it represents a magical combination where magical things

are going to happen.
It looked like a major collision--glass and twisted metal everywhere.
I rolled my eyes. You really are jealous.
Yes, I am. He will not take back best friend status from me. I will fight him to the death for it.
Weapon of choice? I asked, collecting the socks, then dropping them in my suitcase.
Probably a long sword. Or a throwing ax. It depends. Is he tall?
He wasn t four years ago.
My phone buzzed on the bed with a text. Behind me, Willow s phone buzzed too. It was a message from Leena in our group text. Who s going to the party this weekend?
My initial instinct was to type, Not me, I ll be in a magical collision with my childhood friend. But that was dumb. Nobody else would get that and I d sound ridiculous. I only said stuff like that around people I felt perfectly comfortable with, like Willow . . . and Skyler. I never worried about how I sounded around Skyler; he was just as weird as I was.
I looked out the window again, my anticipation almost unbearable now, but the street was still empty. My phone buzzed.
I m in, Willow had answered. She wasn t one to analyze everything she said.
I ll be out of town, I finally typed. A perfectly normal response.
You won t have to fight him, I said, back to our conversation. Like you said, it s only three weeks. And technically we won t be crammed anywhere together. He s going to be in an RV with his mom and siblings, and I m going to be in our RV with Mom and Ezra. But Skyler was coming t
