Summary

When Mari and her stepsister Sierra share a ride to a music festival with two brothers, T.J. and Tyler, Mari and T.J. are instantly attracted to each other, but Mari is only in Chicago for a weekend with her father's new family, and eventually she will have to return to her increasingly abusive mother--unless she can overcome her reservations about dating and maybe arrange to stay in Chicago permanentlyMari doesn't believe in dating-- it can only end with a broken heart. When the rideshare she's taking to a music festival picks up a cute guy, she knows it can't work: she's only staying at her dad's house in Chicago for the weekend. When TJ meets Mari in the back of the rideshare, he feels alive for the first time in a long time. His family's expectations have been casting shadows on his dreams to study art in college. Separated by the crowd at the festival, Mari and TJ will have to decide: was it love at first sight, or the start of nothing more than a weekend fling? -- adapted from back cover
