Girls Like Us - by Jennifer Dugan (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In this sequel to Some Girls Do, two girls struggle when long distance complicates their relationship.

Ruby and Morgan fell for each other during their senior year of high school, and now, almost a year later, they are fighting to keep their spark alive, even while they are apart: Morgan is on a track scholarship at a university several hours away, studying public policy, while Ruby stayed in her hometown, exploring her love of mechanics in the automotive engineering program at the local community college.

Long distance weighs on the girls, with new friendships and flirtatious classmates adding complications, and the two are looking forward to a spring break getaway to Washington, D.C., and the bliss of a whole summer vacation together. But when Morgan discovers she's a finalist for the perfect internship, and Ruby gets the shot to appear on her favorite automotive TV show, the trip schedule--and their summer plans--are thrown into question. With both girls unwilling to stand in the way of each other's future, they wonder: has the time come for them to go their separate ways?
