A review by audreyreadz
American Road Trip by Patrick Flores-Scott

4.0

I attempted to start this about a year ago and never got through it, so I rented the audiobook to listen to while painting.

First things first.

What I liked:

The characters were great, I was really rooting for them all. I really liked Xochitl, I thought Manny was very well written, but I related the most to Teodoro, I liked the way the author described academics and it made me, much like Teodoro, want to try my hardest at school.

I thought the romance was cute and I loved that it wasn’t the main focus of the story.

I really appreciate how the author handled PTSD.

And damn did it make me want green chiles.

What I disliked:

I thought the story was rushed in some places.

I think the title is a little misleading since the “Road Trip” was only a small part of the story.


Over all a good story. I rate it 3.5/5
