The Road Trip by Beth O'Leary
Did not finish book. Stopped at 70%.

I couldn’t take it anymore! I hate all of these characters, aside from the very monotonous and boring plot, I found each of the character very bland and very annoying. Some of the conversation they were having were a bit childish. Also, I find that Addie’s and Dylan’s relationship suffer from lack of communication and how Dylan does the bare minimum to be with Addie 🤷🏼‍♀️.  I tried to keep reading but I just couldn’t.
