Book two-hundred-and-forty: Two Way Street

Two Way Street (2007)
Lauren Barnholdt

Rating: 4/5

So good. Barnholdt somehow manages to pull off the non-linear thing (which usually bugs me the way flashbacks bug me) really really well.

Also, I thought the ending wasn’t dissatisfying as so many YAs of this type can be.

There are two sides to every breakup.This is Jordan and Courtney, totally in love. Sure, they were an unlikely high school couple. But they clicked; it worked. They're even going to the same college, and driving cross-country together for orientation. Then Jordan dumps Courtney -- for a girl he met on the Internet. It's too late to change plans, so the road trip is on. Courtney's heartbroken, but figures she can tough it out for a few days. La la la -- this is Courtney pretending not to care. But in a strange twist, Jordan cares. A lot. Turns out, he's got a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other.
