Our heroine is plunged into a desperate "good fugitive on the run" storyline almost the moment we open this book. She narrowly escapes, runs, narrowly escapes again, at a hectic pace. The reader is unlikely to be in much doubt as to whether or not she will escape -- since Robyn's backstory consists of only what we need to know about her motivation for crossing the USA, we strongly suspect she will reach her destination. Indeed the author clearly gets in the way of the authorities on a couple of occasions in order to keep Robyn on the loose. Robyn squeezes through windows, steals money, steals vehicles, all with a nonchalance one would expect from a character in Grand Theft Auto.
Somewhere in the middle of the book, the reader may notice that the real story of the cross-country journey is not Robyn's long list of crimes, hardships, and escapes -- rather it is about the people she interacts with on the way. They are a bizarre and extreme bunch. If this is a representative sample of the inhabitants of "flyover states", then we are all well-advised to continue flying over them. But they do make for an interesting story, and have something to say about society. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll just suggest that you read it and see what I mean.
