I really enjoyed this fun read and the big 750-mile bike adventure trip. I can't even imagine being able to ride 50 to 60 miles a day, so for those who do, kudos to you! The book deals with real-life issues of fat shaming and what healthy looks like, emotional conflict stemming from family issues, and abortion.
Abby, the main character, is a growing stronger as she works through it kind of woman. She understands her vulnerabilities and strives to get beyond them. I enjoyed her passion for bike riding and how it helped her in life.
I did have differing feelings regarding coming between minors and their parents, but each reader to his or her own opinion with that one. I'm also one who prefers avoiding political views in this genre, but again, to each their own.
Thank you, NetGalley, and Atria books for the advanced copy and opportunity to provide an honest review.
