Road to Nowhere by Christopher Pike

5.0

The Road to Nowhere is a strange dreamy trip down memory lane for 3 lonely teens that each have a sad life story of people they once knew that they tell each other on this long strange road trip they go on. The most compelling story was John’s , a brilliant kid who had a bright academic future ahead, how he basically got screwed over by a nasty teacher after getting caught trying to help his girlfriend ace a test. In helping her succeed he ruined his own life. Theresa’s story was also sad but I was less invested in her story, though I did end up feeling sympathy towards her. She goes through a bad breakup and breaks down completely and you can’t help but feel like her anger and bitterness is completely justified. Will this road trip be one of healing or will it make her spiral even further down a dark path? Overall a compelling and sad tale.
