instalovewithbooks's review against another edition
Dylan is a "nice guy", his best friend Marcus is a twat, and Addy is a bit more likable but honestly I got sick of her too.
This is probably my least fave of Beth's works which also includes The Switch.
Ah, well, up and over.

The Road Trip follows a group of people travelling to a wedding together after their cars crash. In one car is Addie and Deb who are sisters and Rodney a random person needing a lift and the other car happens to be Dylan Addie's ex and his best friend Marcus.
Duel perspective following Addie's and Dylan's relationship at the beginning and being forced together in a car.

I would recommend Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren or Happy Place by Emily Henry over this for anyone looking for a second chance dual timeline, but I didn't have a bad time reading it so I wouldn't not recommend it. I will definitely be seeking out Beth O'Leary's other work.
