Night Road/Kristin Hannah/385 pages

Jude Farraday is the ultimate helicopter mom. Her twins, Zach and Mia, are on a perfect path to their (and her) dreams. Zach is the popular good looking guy at school. Mia, on the other hand, is shy and out of step with her classmates. That all changes for Mia when Lexi, the new girl, asks to sit down next to her at lunch. Mia and Lexi become best friends. Lexi's background is completely different. She's lived in foster homes most of her life. Her mother was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. When she dies, an aunt Lexi didn't know she had takes her in. Eventually, Lexi and Zach start dating and the three of them become inseparable. Their senior year is filled with parties and drinking. A series of bad choices results in heartbreak and tragedy.

Kristin Hannah's books are always emotional and tear jerking. They are a good summer read.
