I LOVE THIS BOOK. With all my heart, I love this book. I admit I did not want to read this at first, because I loved Matson's Second Chance Summer, and I was afraid this would not live up to it. But it is every bit as good. I need like a second book or something. I need it!
The two main characters - Amy and Roger - are a match made in heaven. It just absolutely worked between these two. And I am very glad that the author really worked her way into developing their relationship. The only down side to that is all the magic happens towards the end, and it really leaves you wanting more. But I am definitely not disappointed. I enjoyed the whole ride.
This is definitely not a book you should miss out on. I cannot wait to read more books from this author. She has quite the talent.

I love a good road trip story and this definitely fits the bill. it's also a story of finding yourself, grief, family and figuring out what you want. and some romance for good measure.

Taková příjemná oddechovka :) Poznámky v Rogerových playlistech nebo Amyin cestovní deník byly super, neustále jsem se smála. Rozhodně stojí za to číst, a léto k tomu nepotřebujete. ;)

I don't have a lot to say about Amy and Roger's epic detour, so I'll just write down some of my initial thoughts. *Prepare for a messy review*
2.5 stars.
It's difficult to give this a rating, because some parts were fun and slightly exciting, but those moments never lasted long.
There were times when I felt like giving it a 2 star rating and sometimes a 3.5.
None of the feelings I have towards this book are extreme. So it's a 2.5 rating for me.
This was mildly entertaining but not something I'd read again.
The main characters were not as well fleshed out as they could've been, while the other characters were a lot more interesting. I wanted to know more about Walcott and Charlie in particular.
Even though the book is from Amy's point of view, I had no idea who she was, not even in the end. She was still upset because of what happened to her father, but I found it hard to sympathise with her because she was a stranger to me.
Not sure if what I'll write next is a spoiler, since this is often shelved as contemporary romance, so obviously some sparks will fly. (Some rather disappointing sparks). But I'll mark it as a spoiler in case you don't want to know anything about it.
I would've prefered if they would've stayed friends instead, the chemistry just wasn't there.
Sure, Roger was sweet and funny at times, but just like Amy, I never got to know him. He talks about his girlfriend more than his own life.
He and Amy seemed like an odd combination for some reason.
I really enjoyed all the pictures, notes and playlists in the book. It felt like you were actually on this roadtrip with the characters.

The romance was dragging and once something actually happened, it felt unrealistic.I would've prefered if they would've stayed friends instead, the chemistry just wasn't there.
