13 DAYS OF SUMMER

Three best friends, all die-hard Swifties, set out on a cross-country summer road trip to catch Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

Carson, Eleanor, and Noemi have been inseparable since they were 13, bonded by their shared love for Taylor Swift. With college just around the corner, the recent high school grads’ final summer together becomes a whirlwind adventure after Eleanor’s influencer mom secures three tickets to the sold-out concert of their dreams. They only have 13 days to convince their parents to let them go, pack, and make the cross-country journey from Goosefish, Maine, to Los Angeles. Early on their journey, Carson has a meet-cute with a charming aspiring photographer who’s (aptly) named Dean. He joins their road trip, adding a romantic twist to the adventure. As the trio travels, they navigate the ups and downs of friendship, love, and personal growth against the backdrop of their mutual passion for Taylor Swift. The novel blends humor, nostalgia, and emotional depth, crafting a coming-of-age story that highlights how leaving home can lead to feelings of vulnerability and anxiety even as home remains a grounding force. Ultimately, this is a heartfelt celebration of art, adventure, and the transformative power of friendship. Carson and Noemi read white, Eleanor is cued as Chinese American and white, and Dean is Mexican American and white.

A swoony blend of romance, friendship, humor, and fandom—a must-read for fans of Taylor Swift.
