This is a wonderful novel that fans of All the Bright Places and Adam Silvera, John Green or Becky Albertalli will very much enjoy. Much like those stories, this story is set against the backdrop of a roadtrip, which Kongisberg uses to great effect to build up poignant character moments through a combination of quiet moments and interaction with new people and locales the main characters encounter for the first time. And again, as with those other stories, these characters discover not only who they are with each other, but with themselves and how to deal with the problems they are running away from, figuratively and quite literally. At a page count of just over 300, it’s not an overly long read either. For new fans, people who are already fans of Konigsberg or of other YA staples, this is an excellent book to pick up!
