About this ebook
A bad storm, two cancelled flights, trapped with the guy who broke her heart…Shani Petroff delivers laugh out loud comedy and unforgettable disasters in this highly relatable comedy of errors about a teen stuck in an airport with her cheating ex.
Flight delayed. Send help. Not him.
After Sari caught her boyfriend Zev cheating on her, their romantic Florida vacation was ruined. She can't get back to NYC soon enough. Unfortunately, Mother Nature may have different plans. A huge storm is brewing in the Northeast, and flights all over the country are getting canceled—including Sari's. She winds up stuck at the airport for hours. With Zev!
When another stranded passenger (a hot NYU guy) suggests a connecting flight to Boston, Sari jumps at the chance. But when her mom freaks out about her traveling alone, she has no choice—she has to include Zev, and somehow survive being trapped with the guy who broke her heart!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sari Silver is having a bad Spring Break. First she walks into a party to find her boyfriend Zev liplocked with his ex-girlfriend. Then she realizes that they had both planned to head to Florida for Spring Break to visit their grandparents and spend some time together. Now, she doesn't want to be anywhere near him. He keeps texting and calling and saying that he can explain, but she doesn't give him a chance.She hitches a ride to the airport with her best friend Trina and manages to get on an earlier flight. She spends the first part of her vacation holed up, broken-hearted, in her gram's house. But her gram sends her out to spend some time at the pool where she meets Fitz who is also down from New York to spend some time with his grandfather. They hang out together and Sari is glad to make a new friend but isn't interested in anything more.She gets a call from the booking agent at a club where she hangs out listening to music offering her an opportunity to perform on Saturday night. She can't miss this opportunity which is what she has always wanted and could be the start of her musical career. She can't convince her parents to change her flight and a storm is coming. She gets to the airport to find the Zev and Fitz are also trying to get flights home. After hours and many cancelled flights, they have a chance to fly to Boston where a friend of Fitz's has offered to drive them the rest of the way. But that means that she will have to travel with Zev! Besides, her mom is blowing up her phone, and Zev's when she can't get Sari to answer hers, because she is worried about her daughter. Her mom just doesn't understand how much she hates it that her mom is still communicating with Zev.This was an emotionally intense story about young love, trust and betrayal. While I did think that Sari should have given Zev a chance to explain, I could understand how much what she saw as his betrayal hurt her. Fans of romances will enjoy this story.

As much as I believe that I hate teen romance (or college romance cause acads is life), I actually loved this book! It’s not the typical story where it’ll start on how they met or how they fall in love. This G R E A T book is about remembering them, the total impact of concealed memories after a sudden break-up. You read that right, a break-up story where you’ll wonder if the two will get back together or if one of them will move on. That kind of doubt is actually what makes the read exciting, and who doesn’t want some kind of a thrill?
The story’s told in Sari’s POV (the ex-girlfriend) so readers will only get to see her side of the story, hmmm. She’s a musician. She has a best friend ever. She makes time for her grandma. Her parents are strict. And she once had a boyfriend for over a year named Zev. So Zev is whole different thing. I don’t know what he does but he’s plane-sick. I’d describe him as an ideal man! But no kissing other girls please.
The things is… they planned a trip together but Sari and Zev broke up. Imagine a whole trip you’re looking forward to, suddenly ruined because of a third party? Nah-ah. But they both went anyway (separately) and Zev tried fixing them. But there’s a new guy, Fritz, who met Sari on the trip (the old people’s place!) and he is described as hot! I prefer to call him the potential rebound. Great SWOON all over stuff happened while the three of them were there.
After a week, a storm came and they were all at the airport with a lot of people. They also eventually checked into a hotel with another great friend of Fritz named Dylan (also described as hot) who stayed with them. So, I have a question. Why do hot people only group with hot people? Seriously, Sari is so lucky. And I’m not talking about her broken relationship but about the genuine people she just met! They were all kind and sometimes too kind that you’ll get confused if that is being kind or flirty.
Before this review turn into a novel, I’d like to end by saying that I have loved the book! I got all “kilig” and happy while reading and the guessing-the-ending part was also fun. I recommend this to those who wants to meet a new bookish boyfriend! And to everyone who wants an honest, fun, fast-paced read!
