A thoroughly enjoyable read, loved the characters and POV hopping done well is one of my favorites. As always, Moyes' characters are quirky and fun and you can't help but root for them. A bit slow at times, and the

justification that Gem gave Ed about Jess taking the money actually being OK

  was a bit wonky. I would have preferred

she stick with her argument that desperation is tough and second chances are necessary sometimes. Her point about "everyone steals sometimes" was where she lost me I think.

Also it was a bit difficult trying to figure out when the setting was, seemed to be a mix of technology from the 90's to the late 00's but I think that might be me being nitpicky. I did really enjoy that it was mostly set in a car/during a road trip. It never felt boring or limited because of the setting and I thought that was really unique and well done. All in all I will keep an eye out for whatever else Moyes puts out.

aleroness's review

Moyes once again proving that I will read, and enjoy, anything she writes. Great characters with realistic lives, flaws, reactions, and all with great depth. A plot that, at its heart, is really quite simple (four people, one car, and am expected journey) but is also so much more. Where every character grows in their own right, and the denouement comes about by natural means. Loved it.

Not a good book to read if you're triggered by emesis though. 😅
