I enjoyed reading The Road Trip. Beth O’Leary blends romance with heavy in a way that worked for me. I thought the road trip element was a lighthearted romp that was evened out by the heavier elements of the “then” storyline. I think if this book had been fully one or the other the storylines would have been too much, but together they work.

I had some issues with Marcus.

Namely, that Dylan would remain friends or friendly with him after all the abuse Addie suffered, when Dylan broke up with Addie at the drop of a hat for maaaaybe cheating on him (all he had was a sketchy photo of a guys leg on her thigh? And Marcus had literal years of emotional/verbal abuse on Dylan and Addie? I dunno. This part just left me feeling complicated.

A quick read and not too bad.
