Morgan Matson lover til' the day I die, so I thought it was time to go back to the beginning.
The story is very reminiscent of the MM books I've come to know (Since You've Been Gone, The Unexpected Everything, Save the Date), but it has its own footing to catch. MM is the queen of mundane adventures.
I loved Amy and Roger and their journey they took together across the country, all the people they met and the things they saw pushing them closer and closer together. Big ups to Bronwyn and Lucien.
One thing I really just didn't love was that Amy's mother totally abandoned her kid for an entire month only TWO MONTHS after her FATHER DIED in accident she was apart of, like??? That is some next level grieving that needs to take place and instead you just leave her ALONE FOR A WHOLE MONTH! Roger, a literal stranger, cared more about Amy's wellbeing than her own mother did, it seems.
Crying score: Yeah. Just, yeah.

I did enjoy this slightly less then the last time I read it. It was still enjoyable, but I thought some parts were too long. I also didn’t cry which is shocking because I’m always crying. I did like the characters for the most part, but I do wish we got more interaction between Amy and her family. I did love the road-trip element and now I want to go on one.
