(OOOOO)
"It wouldn't be a road trip without some detours..."When Amy Curry left for a cross country trip from California to her new home in Connecticut with an old family friend Roger Sullivan, she had no idea just how many detours would come her way.
When Amy's father died a few years earlier, her life changed for the worse. With her mother becoming more and more distant, her brother secretly in rehab, and a secret that haunts her, everything seems to be spiraling out of control. Until the day her mom announces that she needs to drive the car across the country to Connecticut, where her mom has already been living. Through a series of "small" detours what seems like an awkward car ride with a now-stranger whom Amy hasn't seen in years turns into a journey in which two teenagers rethink themselves, their pasts... and each other.
This book won me over from the very beginning, starting with the cover. I was looking for a quick, fun, summer romance and I got just that. But I also got so much more. This book, while a fun teen romance, was a story that made me laugh, cry, and scream all at the same time. The occasional page of pictures really helped me visualize Amy and Roger's adventure. I fell in love with the characters and found myself cheering for them all across the country. It made me wish I could take a road trip myself. Recommended for any high school girl who wants a fun, romantic read!
