Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman
5.0

"Here's an analogy I like: guilt is a runaway wagon down the mountainside. It may carry you a long way, but it usually ends in disaster. Love, on the other hand, is much slower - just your own two feet, really. But it's more likely to take you somewhere worth going."

This is a very personal five star rating - I would definitely not expect everyone to feel the same as I do about this book. The plot is slow and there's very little action, but Tess's journey - her guilt, her hurt, her longing for something more - was so deeply relatable to me.

I'm usually excited about sequels and ready to devour them, but in this case I don't know that I need any more. This story stands perfectly on its own.
