About Whenever You're Ready

Nia and Jade had been inseparable ever since their best friend, Michal, introduced them at her tenth birthday party. But now it's been three years since Michal died of cancer—since the brutal fight Nia and Jade had—and they're barely on speaking terms. Until Nia reads a letter Michal wrote for her twenty-ninth birthday, asking her and Jade to go on the southern Jewish history road trip they'd planned before she died. To add to the complications, Michal's then-boyfriend and Jade's twin brother, Jonah, joins the trip. Despite the years apart and Jade and Jonah's strained relationship, any awkwardness quickly disappears as it becomes clear how much Nia and Jade have missed each other. Nia has been in love with Jade since they were teenagers, and Jade has been so committed to their friendship that she never let herself consider something more. As the stops pass, tensions mount, until Nia and Jade are forced to confront what happened, their feelings for one another, and even their respective relationships with Jonah. Rachel Runya Katz's Whenever You're Ready is about family, friendship, and the kind of first love that could last a lifetime—if only you are willing to take a chance.
