The music is loud. The feelings are louder.
Mona Reyes has one plan for the summer: get in the van, survive the tour, and prove her messy punk band deserves to be heard.
Unfortunately, The Bad Decisions are living up to their name.
Their first stop in Saltwater Cove should be simple: one dive-bar show, one cheap motel, one night loud enough to make the whole tour feel possible. Instead, they arrive to a double-booked venue, a van with suspicious emotional problems, a motel that looks personally offended by guests, and a budget held together by duct tape, merch sales, and denial.
Then Mona meets June Avery.
June is local, sharp-eyed, unimpressed, and entirely too good at seeing through Mona's stage persona. She knows the venue, the town, the soundboard, and exactly when Mona is hiding behind a joke. Mona is used to being watched onstage. She is not used to being seen.
As the first tour stop turns into one disaster after another, Saltwater Cove starts to feel less like a mistake and more like a song Mona does not know how to finish. Between chaotic boardwalk nights, record-shop rehearsals, van breakdowns, band tension, a mysterious woman watching from the back of the room, and a softer song Mona swears is not a real Bad Decisions song, Mona has to decide what scares her more: leaving too soon or being honest before she goes.
Funny, romantic, messy, and full of punk-rock summer chaos, Mona's Summer Tour: First Stop, Last Chance is a sapphic New Adult coming-of-age romance about found family, first stops, loud music, and the one girl who hears the quiet part.
For readers who love sapphic romance, messy bands, coastal towns, found family, emotional slow burn, road-trip disasters, and girls who kiss on boardwalks even when they know goodbye is coming.
