A popular guy and a shy girl with a secret become unlikely accomplices for midnight pranking, and are soon in over their heads—with the law and with each other—in this sparkling standalone from NYT-bestselling author Anna Banks.

It’s been years since Carly Vega’s parents were deported. She lives with her brother, studies hard, and works at a convenience store to contribute to getting her parents back from Mexico.

Arden Moss used to be the star quarterback at school. He dated popular blondes and had fun with his older sister, Amber. But now Amber’s dead, and Arden blames his father, the town sheriff who wouldn’t acknowledge Amber’s mental illness. Arden refuses to fulfill whatever his conservative father expects.

All Carly wants is to stay under the radar and do what her family expects. All Arden wants is to NOT do what his family expects. When their paths cross, they each realize they’ve been living according to others. Carly and Arden’s journey toward their true hearts—and one another—is funny, romantic, and sometimes harsh.

I love love LOVE Anna Banks! She’s one of my favorite Authors and I always always wanted to meet her, I still haven’t given up hope that one day this will happen. I adore her Of Triton Series (SO MUCH) and also her Adult Book “Degrees of Wrong” was phenomenal – so when I heard about Joyride I knew this would be a book I’d need to get my grabby hands on ASAP!

So, yes I am positively Pre-Squee ing about Joyride!
