I've never been fortunate enough to experience an actual road trip but reading this novel was a fabulous alternative. This concept is amazing and fit perfectly into the overall scheme the author mapped out. The different themes and aspects flow in harmony to create a captivating contemporary romance packed with rich content.I've never had so many conflicting emotions rally together in one read. I was swept up in a whirlwind of feelings and willingly got carried away. One minute I was sad, the next I was laughing my bum off at the hilarious dialogue, then I was peeking through my fingers in fear of what might happen. The majority of the time I was caught up in a bubble of bliss, pure happiness because this novel was so amazing.Abby was ready to start living life and an epic road trip was exactly how she planned to begin her journey of self-discovery. This would be her chance to break free and prove she's alive. Abby desperately craves independence and separation from the past. Her situation is rare which made it even more special and meaningful. What an inspirational story!Abby's naive, innocent, and flustered personality was perfectly portrayed. I loved getting to know her and found it easy to connect with her character. Abby is so full of bright sunshine which was refreshing after what she has all been through in her short nineteen years. Many would have crumbled but she came out fighting and easy to take on the world.If I could go back to my late teen years and describe the ultimate boyfriend, Beck would be everything and everything I would ask for. He has it all and then some! Beck's vibrant personality blinded me from the pages and I couldn't get enough of his witty humor. I greatly appreciated his clever and positive attitude. He swoops in at the start and messes up all of Abby's plans but in the best possible ways. His presence changes her life and I was overwhelmed by the strength of his devotion. I would gladly have a daily dose of his heartfelt confessions.R.S. Grey is quite a spectacular talent. Her writing has such clarity that her characters and settings are laid out crystal clear. I could picture exactly what the looked like, where they were, and what they were doing because of the descriptive details. All the pieces effortlessly fell into place and each transition was smooth as silk. I fell head-over-heels in love with this story because of how powerful my reaction was. I felt like I was on an emotional Tilt-A-Whirl and I would climb on this brilliant ride time after time.I grew very attached to Beck and Abby so I experienced a wicked book hangover. I really hope this isn't the last I hear from them (hint, hint). I highly recommend you grab this novel today so you can understand exactly what I mean.
