****I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review****I'm usually someone who goes for a light, fun, quirky romance. Give me romance! *screams to the heavens* And while Road to Somewhere has romance (some sweet, beautiful, oh-my-gosh-I-want-to-cuddle-my-Kindle YA romance) this book is SO MUCH MORE than getting the boy.Charlie has a dream, and one that when said out loud usually gets bizarre looks and a "um, yeah, right" reaction. She wants to sing. She wants to make it big. She wants to be the next thing. And I wanted so much to reach in the book and tell her that she's capable of that dream.Lucky for me, I didn't have to, because even with the not-so-supportive attitude from her father, her sister Lucy believed in her 100%.Lucy is quiet, a bit of a wallflower. And I felt so much for this girl. Having an older sister with amazing talent, who is unafraid of chasing what she wants, who speaks her mind is intimidating. I connected with Lucy because I felt the same things she did with my sisters. And I desperately wanted a connection with my family the way she wanted with Charlie.As it turns out, they get to travel the road together, and end up at their grandparents' ranch... and cue the hot cowboys!Like I said before, I love a good romance in my reads. And this one delivered not one, but two adorable male leads who balance Charlie and Lucy out.Not to mention their accents and muscles. Mmmhmm.But this story isn't about the boys. It's about the girls. It's about sisterhood. It's about finding yourself in someone who is your opposite. It's about acceptance, growth, understanding, empathy, and it'll tug at your heart.This story made me understand the importance of family, and when I read the last line I was left with not only a smile, but a shed tear or two for the love I have for my own sisters, and the love I have for music. And that is something very special.Recommended :)
