This is the second book I have read by this adventurer. I actually wanted to read this after she mentioned this trip in The Pants of Perspective. This made me (who can barely stay upright on a bike and have never mastered anything above a 1 speed) want to dust off the bike and take it for a spin...but maybe I can just sign up to host other adventurers and live vicariously. lol So interesting to see my country through British eyes.

Great book! Beautifully written!! Can highly recommend!

Wow! Just wow! I had a feeling I would like this book, but I didn't think I would LOVE it and LOVE it I did. I just starting following her and she posted something on Instagram about getting an autographed copy of the book. So, I bought one and Pants of Perspective for my friend for Christmas. Needless to say, the books never made it, but she and her assistant worked me as quickly as possibly to send me a new set. It was really awesome of her and I loved her note.

But back to the book. I loved her writing style. I loved her humor and random references to pop culture that I love, as well. I got angry when people did something negative like the "spirit warrior" DB. I felt for her when the weather Gods descended upon her with punishment, which consequently, I was on the edge of my seat wondering if she would make it to Dallas on time. I seriously have a girl crush on her and it makes me want to take the road of my own country. I even slowed down my reading of the last two chapters, because I knew I would be sad to finish and I was...so sad. But I loved how she ended the book with her dad and that she decided to open a group for girls/women doing their own adventures. We need more of that in our world.

The only thing I wished that I could have seen were the pictures of her with each state sign. I didn't follow the blog and never got to see it (I will now). Oh and the fact that she went to Dallas instead of Houston and had Mexican food in Arkansas instead of Texas. But those are stupid, minor gripes that I would dare not lower stars.

Anyways! I can't recommend it enough and if she came through Houston, she would definitely have a place to stay.
