Dylan died in a plane crash so why does the last chapter and epilogue have them going from the airport to London...?. I'm very confused other than that it was an amazing book

What a fantastic book!!! I was so vested in these truly well developed characters and their story. I didn't want it to end! Joy is on a guilt driven journey through Route 66, living through his sisters bucket list. Her final destination is New York where she will start her life with her fiancee and live out another of her sisters dreams. Enter Dylan, the son of a musician who's car just broke down at the same diner Joy is stopped at.
The two hit it off and come up with a plan to share the ride to New York together, one catch is that they won't share last names and what happens on the road stays on the road, and if they want to venture on a side trip they have to both agree.
Their love story is followed for 10 years. The idea of what if is explored if they had broken their deal. This story stuck with me, it is so well written. I highly recommend it!
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

Wild, adventurous, heartbreaking and refreshing. Genuinely enjoyed this read. I already love her books but this further proves why she's one of my favorite authors.

A unique book with some twists and turns just like a road trip would have. It keeps you cheering for the characters and wishing for the best.

I loved Side Trip as much as I loved the author’s previous books that I’ve read! I read this on a road trip, which was fun, because it’s about a road trip. Joy is a joy and Dylan is my new favorite leading man. I will say there is an ending to this one that will either make you throw your book or you may love it, like I did! This book is really about living your best life and the road not taken.

OMG!!! Kerry never disappoints! This happens to be my favorite book of her so far, which isn't saying much because i have loved every single book she's written so far. I fell so in love with the characters in this book that i had to pull myself back to reality most times, the plot, the twists, everything was amazing! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

This book blew me away! What an emotional ride and an ending I totally did not see coming. Wow—mind-blown!
Joy sets out on a trip to honor her sister. Little did she know how much her life would change on this trip. She and Dylan, two strangers, agree to share a ride to New York after his car breaks down. But they lay down some rules before they start their trip.
Side Trip is an emotional, gut-wrenching, beautiful story that will make you feel all the feels and break your heart. It brought me to tears, that's how close I came to the characters and the emotions they were going through. I can't recommend this book enough. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I definitely would.
You really need to get your hands on a copy of Side Trip and take a trip thorough this story this summer. It will be a journey you won't soon forget, I promise!
