About the Book:
Amy Curry is not looking forward to her summer. Her mother decided to move across the country and now it's Amy's responsibility to get their car from California to Connecticut. The only problem is, since her father died in a car accident, she isn't ready to get behind the wheel. Enter Roger. An old family friend, he also has to make the cross-country trip - and has plenty of baggage of his own. The road home may be unfamiliar - especially with their friendship venturing into uncharted territory - but together, Amy and Roger will figure out how to map their way.
My Thoughts:
I loved it, like seriously L-O-V-E-D it! There are so many things about this book that are perfect. The characters, main and secondary, are all amazing. The quotes to start each chapter are great, and that is something I don't always love. The scrapbook pages and playlists are a very cool touch. They helped make it seem like, as the reader, you are along for the ride with Amy and Roger. The book was cute and sweet without being only cute and sweet. Having just read Willow, which also deals with the death of a parent (parents actually in it), I liked this book soooo much better! While Amy is struggling and dealing with issues of guilt over her father's death, you aren't beaten over the head with it page after page after page to the point you are exhausted by the main character. You'll actually feel good after reading this book!
