Catherine Ryan Hyde has the ability to create characters in impossible situations that just draw you in from the very beginning. After Ru loses someone she loves, she teams up with Gabriel to go on the adventure of a lifetime. Even though some parts of the story are hard to believe, I loved the characters and seeing how they grew and bonded during this journey. I read the story in 2 days and really enjoyed it.

If you're into road trip books, you may enjoy this one.  I liked the relationship between the main characters and the things they learned along the way.  Some of the things that happened were just a bit too far-fetched for me to believe, which ultimately brought my rating down a bit.  Overall, a good read.
