I really liked this one! It's a great story about sisters and female relationships. The dual POVs really allow us to have a great insight in the progression of the sister's stories with each other, with their friends, and with their guys. The dialogue was great, I loved the message and really enjoyed all the characters. I felt like Charlie's issues were true to life and they resonated with me. I'm the oldest sister too so I really connected with her in that way as well. As far as Lucy, I really enjoyed her and was rooting for her the entire time. I wanted her to break out of her shell, to step out of Charlie's shadow, and basically grow a pair. Other than that, it was nice to read about female relationships that weren't parodies or toxic so thanks.I will warn you, if you are looking for a solid romance you won't find it here. Road to Somewhere has romantic elements, but its an afterthought to the relationship between the sisters and their parents. Just a heads up because we are lead to believe slightly different by the synopsis. My biggest dislike for this book and almost made me rate it lower if not for all the other stuff I loved was the abrupt ending. I'm all for the "let's have the reader wonder what happened" or "let them imagine the ending they want" but truly almost everything was left unresolved. I hope this means a sequel? I really hope so because I don't understand the decision to do that to readers.Enjoyable read, recommended!
