Run Away with Me — J.L. Simmonds

Two teenage runaways. One vintage Mustang. A life-changing race across America. So strap in, because this is going to be one hell of a ride.

Jessie 'Mouse' Swift needs to get out of Seattle and fast. A few days ago she admitted to wanting her abusive stepfather dead, only to come home and find his murdered body. So when a girl from school offers Jessie a ride in her vintage red Mustang, they embark on an unexpected road trip across America.

Brooke Summer is everything Jessie isn't: popular, confident, wealthy and heart-stoppingly beautiful, and Jessie has been in love with her from afar for years. But Brooke is hiding her own secrets . . .

With the cops and other sinister figures on their tail, how long can Jessie and Brooke stay on the run before they're caught? And as their friendship blossoms into something more, can they find a future worth running to together?

A coming-of-age thriller-romance, perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Casey McQuiston.
