This book was...disappointing. With every person's POV I lost interest in the story. Besides Leila helping each stranger, I felt there was no connection between the events, nothing significant to link the stories together. I would have liked to see more insight into Leila through each POV, and build suspense to the reveal of her reason for the road trip.
As for the stories of each person all of them except for one was about love and all the characters were teenagers. It would have been nice to see some diversity between characters and scenerios. Leila's story was my favourite but unfortunately it was the shortest of them all.
Although I found the story with much to lack, I still enjoy Alsaid's writing style, and paused every now and again to re read lines to commit them to memory. I still want to read more of his books, this one just wasn't my taste.

It was just pretty eh. Sweet and cute but not particularly interesting or memorable.

The characters aren't really memorable, a little cliche, and that brought down the rating quite a bit for me. It was a quick, relatively fun read, but it was basically Paper Towns but worse.

A good book told in 5 parts focusing on how Leila affects the lives of four other teens and ultimately how that alters her perspective. And while the characters have moments of inspiration the book generally didn't inspire me and fell a bit flat. Far from being a terrible book but still not great. Another road trip book for the shelf possibly to recommend to teens who have read through John Green.

This was one of those books where I found myself thinking about the life I've led. How often I've had the opportunity to do something, even small, for someone I didn't know. Leila and her outlook gave me a bit of inspiration.

I like how this adventurous road trip takes on the interactions from several points of view while maintaining a solid theme. 93

This was a beautiful book with well-rounded characters.
Makes me want to be someone like Leila!
Couldn't put this book down and finished it one sitting!

i enjoy YA a lot, but this book just felt very young to me. and too simple of a concept. the story about each person was too short and didn't allow me a chance to really get to know them or leila for that matter, i just didn't care about anyone.
