3.75 stars (just to be awkward).

I liked the road-trip aspect and their diversion from Amy's mums plan for them. I liked their gentle roll into something more than friendship. I liked a lot of the people they met on their detour.

What I wasn't so keen on was the ending. I like a definite HEA and I'm sure they'll meet up again but it wasn't a certain thing and that's a big "Hmm..." point for me which is why I've marked it down a quarter star because other than that I enjoyed their story.

I may even have to make a "road-trip" shelf and search out more books.

I was so involved in the road-trip and the little pictures shown throughout the story that I actually stalked their journey using google maps.

The mystery felt forced into the story, but the characters were wonderful with lots of laughs.

I like this app most of the time. It does find the shortest way, and does a good job at notifying you of traffic. I have one major issue with this app; when it tells you to get onto an access road to avoid a slow down on the interstate. Because everyone gets the same idea. I ended up stuck in traffic for an extra 20 minutes on Saturday because it told me to go onto an access road, that happened to be closed for construction. Next time, I'll know to just ignore those suggestions.

"My philosophy was that, no matter what, you'll get where you're going. Maybe you take the road you didn't expect, and it turns out to be the long way. That doesn't matter. You keep your head because you're an outlaw. You get there traveling whatever road you need to take." -George Christie

Who knew such wise words could come from the pen of a former president of the Hells Angels? What a fascinating read. Christie is a real life cowboy who isn't afraid to tell his story the way he sees it.
