If someone had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have assumed they were on drugs.Well, that is, until I met Beckham.Beck was mostly to blame for my recklessness. Gorgeous, clever, undeniably charming Beck barreled into my life as if it were his mission to make sure I never took living for granted. He showed me that there were no boundaries, rules were for the spineless, and a kiss was supposed to happen when I least expected.Beck was the plot twist that took me by surprise. Two months before I met him, death was knocking at my door. I'd all but given up my last scrap of hope when suddenly, I was given a second chance at life. This time around, I wasn't going to let it slip through my fingers.We set out on a road trip with nothing to lose and no guarantees of tomorrow.Our road trip was about young, reckless love. The kind of love that burns bright.The kind of love that no road-map could bring me back from.I loved this book. It was very well written and even though it took me a couple chapters to get into it, once it got me hooked, I didn’t want to put it down. There were parts that had me laughing and a few parts that brought tears to my eyes. Abby is 19 and Beck is 21 but they have that sweet, young love that just makes you hold on and see how the ride goes.She is so innocent in her life and he has lived a full life. He really opened her eyes and helped show her the world on their road trip but she opened his eyes to true love. She was such a sweet character because of her innocence and her awkwardness during some scenes. I caught myself covering my eyes and thinking “Tell me she didn’t just say that”. Beck had a cockiness about him but it was written so well that it wasn’t overpowering. He was confident, which is really attractive in a male lead. I feel like I can’t say enough good things about this book. I highly recommend this book.
