First Kiss Friday with Emery Lord + OPEN ROAD SUMMER (Signed!) Giveaway

I'm so excited right now, I can't even tell you, because for today's First Kiss Friday, I have Emery Lord, author of OPEN ROAD SUMMER. If you follow me on Twitter or Goodreads or talk to me ever, you know that I can't stop talking about this book. It's hilarious and heartwarming and has some of the best friendship scenes ever. It's also my favorite book of 2014 so far.

And now, here's Emery ☺

____________________________

J was kind of an enigma in high school. I knew who he was before we really met. He was smart and kind and quiet and cool, but not in a Cool Kid way. In a genuinely-don't-care-what-you-think way. He played drumset, didn't have a curfew...and was on Team Physics. So, needless to say, he was (and still can be) hard to read if you don't know him. Our first date was going so well. We'd been out for, I kid you not, 10 hours on a Saturday, roving around our favorite spots in our hometown. At a certain point, late, I started to mentally prepare to be the initiator. I mean, he is both so confident...and so hard to read. So I wasn't quite sure if he'd go for it.

Um, he did. The whole world (words and shapes and colors) blurred around me, gone. Got lightheaded. Still do :) (Married him)

Emery Lord is the author of OPEN ROAD SUMMER. She writes books about complicated families and the friends who save your life just by showing up and your worst mistakes and that boy who gets you like no one else ever has and the summer that changed everything.

After breaking up with her bad-news boyfriend, Reagan O’Neill is ready to leave her rebellious ways behind. . . and her best friend, country superstar Lilah Montgomery, is nursing a broken heart of her own. Fortunately, Lilah’s 24-city tour is about to kick off, offering a perfect opportunity for a girls-only summer of break-up ballads and healing hearts. But when Matt Finch joins the tour as its opening act, his boy-next-door charm proves difficult for Reagan to resist, despite her vow to live a drama-free existence. This summer, Reagan and Lilah will navigate the ups and downs of fame and friendship as they come to see that giving your heart to the right person is always a risk worth taking. A fresh new voice in contemporary romance, Emery Lord’s gorgeous writing hits all the right notes.
