4.5⭐️ I just love the way Kat writes a story! I can’t stand miscommunication that can be easily avoided (hence not a full 5 stars), but she made the story so heart wrenching and interesting that I couldn’t put it down anyway. Lily falls hard and fast, but she can’t see past Aspen’s playboy past. He falls just as hard, but can’t find a way to make her see how serious he is about her. Years later, they get their second chance and I felt the angst the whole time!

Enemies to lovers?
A road trip?
Second chance?
This one ticked off all the boxes for me, and still refused to climb into just one of these holes. It needed to be more, and it definitely was.
This couple, their games, their banter, the angst, all of it took me on such a journey, filled with twists and turns. Some truly heart wrenching moments, some that made me just wanna hug everyone, and some that made me wanna slap them all.
I definitely ran the gamut as far as emotions went, but I thoroughly enjoyed every last bit of it.
I loved the back and forth between present and past, giving us more insight on how things developed, what they turned into, and how they even got there.
This one definitely kept me hooked.

I probably shouldn't have read this immediately after the first one. Mainly because I feel like I'm seeing a pattern with the writing. We have angst for 90% of the book and then we wam, bam, thank you ma'am get them together real quick and wrap it up. Ugh...
I really loved Lily in the first book, and I liked her in this one. However, why did she focus on the negative the whole dang book?!?!??! Literally, it was THE.WHOLE.BOOK!!!! And Aspen, I loved him. He's trying to show her he cares, and she just shuts him down. And let's not talk about the whole reason she was mad....MISSCOMMUNICATION!! UGH! I HATE THAT TROPE!
It has a good ending. I wish we had more with them together instead of the last page and the epilogue, but at least they had their HEA.

The Angst Was Real!!
Lily and Aspen took me on an emotional roller coaster! I loved the book but was happy for it to end to finally see their HEA!
The first book, not necessary to read but does introduce the characters, had me questioning Aspen and his feelings for Lily. Seeing his POV in this story and reading his thoughts showed how much he truly cared for her since day 1, even if he didn’t show it well.
I love how in the story, even after years since Lily and Aspen have seen each other, Aspen still knows Lily better than anyone and knows her likes and dislikes.
The epilogue brought me so much joy, not only getting to see into Aspen and Lily’s future but also Maverick and Veronica’s.

I loved this second book in the series by Kat Singleton. It was a slower paced love story for me, but the storyline and characters were well-written and I connected to both of them in a lot of ways.
This story follows the lives of Aspen and Lily who you meet in the first installment. Lily is Maverick’s twin sister and best friends with Veronica. Aspen is best friends with Maverick and was roommates with him in college along with Veronica.
Aspen is funny, hot, and likes to have a good time. He had his sights set on Lily but their relationship is always hot and cold.
Lily is fierce. She says what she wants and how she feels and doesn’t care if you like it or not. She literally cracks me up with some of her comebacks.
This book follows the two of them on a road trip to South Carolina to meet up with Maverick and Veronica. Along the way, the two of them must learn to get along with each to make the best of the trip.
Each stop on the trip, Aspen and Lily find a piece of their past relationship with another and piece it back together. The ending crushed me and while it took a long time to get there, it was well worth it.

After reading The Consequence of Loving me, I was impatiently anticipating Aspen and Lily’s story! Their banter in that book alone sucked you in and made you want more of them!
In The Road to Finding Us we get a more in-depth look into their lives and their past! It will pull your heartstrings I’m telling you!!
Lily is absolutely hilarious and headstrong and I freaking adore her! I can totally relate to her insecurities about Aspen. Especially after their past is revealed. I Love Aspen! Seeing his normally cocky self be more vulnerable in this book... just Made it!
I loved getting to go along this road trip with these two! Seeing how they work through their feelings and come out the other side. They are hilarious and the banter back and forth will have you rolling! I was laughing out loud in the first chapter!
I Absolutely Recommend and I’m excited for what’s to come from Kat Singleton!
-received and arc for my honest review.
