(Probably more like 4 or 4.5 stars, bumping it up because of the Buc-ee's stop and the mostly realistic Texas geography.)

A lot of fun and a quick read, a really nice note to end summer romance bingo on for me. Love the nerdy heroine and how she doesn't have to change anything about herself or her interests in order to find love. I thought it was interesting how it was (entirely, as far as I recall) in close third-person with Olivia's perspective - alternating between the romantic leads seems to be a little more common, but I didn't mind this at all, though it did make his motives and qualms a little more opaque. I love that this road trip features a Buc-ee's stop; for any non-Texans who have read this book, Buc-ee's is a real place and it is amazing, though I don't personally care for the beaver nuggets. From the blurb, I was expecting this to be a bit more enemies-to-lovers than mutual pining, but I like both of those tropes, so I'm happy either way! This is the final book in a series - while I don't think my reading experience suffered from not having read the other three, this was enjoyable enough that I'm planning to go back and read the others.

(2109 summer romance bingo: road trip.)
