Synopsis

In this sequel to the Tiktok sensation 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 determined to keep their spark alive, even while they are apart. Morgan is studying public policy on a track scholarship at a university several hours away, while Ruby stayed in their hometown and is exploring her love of mechanics in the automotive engineering program at the local community college.

Despite their best efforts, the space between them begins to weigh on the girls, with new friendships and flirtatious classmates adding complications. Still, the two are counting down the days to a spring break getaway and the bliss of a whole summer vacation together. But when Morgan discovers she’s a finalist for the perfect internship and Ruby gets a shot to appear on her favorite automotive TV show, their plans are thrown into question. With both girls unwilling to stand in the way of each other’s future, they wonder: Can their relationship still go the distance even if they’re on separate paths?

Goodreads review by Tara on May 16, 2026

Loved this next stage in Morgan and Ruby's love story. It's bumpier and more mature but so very worth it. I love that they both get to experience life outside of their relationship and still try to keep things so good. The struggle with long distance was so well done!!......more


Quotes

“The alternating first-person point-of-view chapters offer a complex view of relationship challenges. Ruby’s arcs with her mother and stepfather are especially touching and well-developed. . . Sweet and healing.” —Kirkus Reviews

“It’s rare, especially in the young adult space, to get a romance sequel that follows the same characters, allowing readers to see what comes after the initial love confession and delve deeper into the trials of a long-term relationship. With fun banter and a cast of lovable characters, this book is sure to please readers who loved the first and series newcomers.” —Booklist

“[Dugan] . . . captures the highs and lows of this transformative time in life, which is replete with feelings of freedom, possibility, and excitement, but also self-doubt, resentment, and jealousy.” —School Library Journal
