For Sophie, small-town life has never felt small. With her four best friendsâloving, infuriating, and all she could ever ask forâshe can weather any storm. But when Sophieâs beloved Acadia High School marching band is selected to march in the upcoming Rose Parade, itâs her job to get them all the way to Los Angeles. Her plan? To persuade country singer Megan Pleasant, their Midwestern townâs only claim to fame, to come back to Acadia to headline a fundraising festival.
The only problem is that Megan has very publicly sworn never to return.
What ensues is a journey filled with long-kept secrets, hidden heartbreaks, and revelations that could change everythingâalong with a possible fifth best friend: a new guy with a magnetic smile and secrets of his own.
