American Road Trip by Patrick Flores-Scott

4.0

Heavy topics such as PTSD, Suicide, and just general teenager stress could make this book heavy, but it's broken up nicely by the relationships the main character experiences. Sprinkled with just the right amount of humor, cute interactions, seriousness, and depth. I really enjoyed watching T interact with his crush, figuring out his place in helping his older brother. I found the way T's thoughts about his place were so on point. Teenagers in general are the center of their own universe (not that I'm saying that's bad...that's just how it is, right?), and T definitely experiences those types of thoughts, and then is quite dramatically brought to the realization that it isn't all about him. It's a great read.
