Book Rating
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.

"I’ve been touring recently, so I’ve been reading Joe Dunthorne’s The Adulterants. It’s a slim, short novel for taking on the road, and it’s very funny. It’s set in the backdrop of the riots that took place in the UK a few years ago, so it’s light and grotesque at the same time."
