Where the Road Leads Us by Robin Reul

4.0

“Sometimes the best path is the unexpected one.”

Jack is the wholesome boy next door, perfect grades, perfect girlfriend, perfect life and future ahead of him. Well from the outside looking in you see perfection but what you get in reality is a boy who doesn’t want to start his internship or follow in his late fathers footsteps he’s needs to find his way and hopefully find his brother.

Then we have Hallie, the girl that disappeared and finished school from home graduating ahead of her peers. Her friend had just told her some heartbreaking news and she wants to go and visit him in Oregon before it’s too late.

In a weird twist of fate the pair end up on a ride share together both heading to the bus stop and this is where their random adventure begins. The two get to know each other and after bus delays somehow end up in a car with the rise share guy on the way to San Francisco.

After 24 hours together they both feel happier than they have both been in a long time. They seal the deal with matching tattoos and decide that in 6 months from now they will meet at this same spot and reconnect.

This book makes you want to reassess your life and do what makes you genuinely happy. Think all the bright places cross November 9th. It was beautiful and tender yet raw and heartbreaking. The cover for this book roped me in but the story was absolutely sublime.
