In Honor by Jessi Kirby

Goodreads Synopsis:
Honor receives her
brother’s last letter from Iraq three days after learning that he died,
and opens it the day his fellow Marines lay the flag over his casket.
Its contents are a complete shock: concert tickets to see Kyra Kelly,
her favorite pop star and Finn’s celebrity crush. In his letter, he
jokingly charged Honor with the task of telling Kyra Kelly that he was
in love with her.
Grief-stricken and determined to grant Finn’s last request, she rushes to leave immediately. But she only gets as far as the driveway before running into Rusty, Finn’s best friend since third grade and his polar opposite. She hasn’t seen him in ages, thanks to a falling out between the two guys, but Rusty is much the same as Honor remembers him: arrogant, stubborn . . . and ruggedly good-looking. Neither one is what the other would ever look for in a road trip partner, but the two of them set off together, on a voyage that makes sense only because it doesn’t. Along the way, they find small and sometimes surprising ways to ease their shared loss and honor Finn--but when shocking truths are revealed at the end of the road, will either of them be able to cope with the consequences?

Excerpt:
“A muted,
repetitive thunk pulled at me from
the other side of sleep. When I didn’t move, it persisted. I made an honest
effort to lift my eyelids, but it felt like I had only just closed them, and my
mind fumbled for every possible reason to keep them that way: still dark,
summertime, no school, nowhere I needed to be, no one who should be waking me
up…” (Paperback, pg. 58)
