Average rating5
These no-longer-newlyweds want out of this road trip—and their marriage. Too bad they can’t find the off ramp. Weeks away from their one-year wedding anniversary, Mallory and Connor Duncan can’t even agree on how to end their marriage. But when a last-minute crisis lands them on a three-thousand-mile road trip together, Mallory wonders if their story may not be over after all. The trip begins to unravel before the key is even in the ignition. When an at-risk, trouble-seeking eleven-year-old is unexpectedly thrown into their travel plans, close quarters get even tighter. Soon, the couple believes this whole experience will spell disaster. Their first year of marriage hasn’t been the arm-in-arm togetherness Mallory and Connor expected. But is it possible they will find a new beginning at the end of the road?

This was another story I simply couldn't lay aside. There's so much here, along with a very good spiritual lesson as well.
Judah felt so authentic for an out-of-control eleven-year-old. His attitude and words were just spot-on to how some kids around me act.
Mallory and Connor, though....my!! So much angst there as we peel backs the layer of what happened between the two of them. Wow. One year only and the in-love couple has ended up on two different planets. Road tripping when poles apart sure isn't going to be easy.
I especially appreciated that Ruchti unveiled a story rather than throwing melodrama onto the page for the sake of sensation. The result is a well-crafted, believable story that feels like someone actually lived all those events. I enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy. A positive review was not required.
