Staff Reviews


As I read this book, I felt like I was in the backseat of the car the entire time, witnessing the road trip for myself! It was a joy to read about Amy and Roger’s relationship and how it progressed throughout the story. Something incredibly unique about this story is that Morgan Matson  took this road trip, so she included actual pictures, menus, and other cool travel items in the book that made it feel even more realistic! While traveling may not be encouraged right now, there is nothing to stop you from taking a virtual road trip through this book!

I am a huge fan of road trip stories and this one has a special place in my heart. The author actually completed this cross country rip so the book is full of pictures and little extras about the characters journey. There are even several playlists throughout the book that are super enjoyable. One of my favorite Morgan Matson books and a great pick for anyone looking for a YA contemporary!

Description


Amy Curry thinks her life sucks. Her mom decides to move from California to Connecticut to start anew - just in time for Amy's senior year. Her dad recently died in a car accident. So Amy embarks on a road trip to escape from it all, driving cross-country from the home she's always known toward her new life. Joining Amy on the road trip is Roger, the son of Amy's mother's old friend. Amy hasn't seen him in years, and she is less than thrilled to be driving across the country with a guy she barely knows. So she's surprised to find that she is developing a crush on him. At the same time, she's coming to terms with her father's death and how to put her own life back together after the accident. Told in traditional narrative as well as scraps from the road - diner napkins, motel receipts, postcards - this is the story of one girl's journey to find herself.
