update: 11/18/2012. Loved it. Loved it!!! Loved it!!!!!

Straight from Lauren Barnholdt's site:
"I’ve been getting lots of questions about what the TWO-WAY STREET COMPANION novel is about.

It’s going to be called RIGHT OF WAY, and it will be out Summer 2013. It’s the story of Peyton and Jace. Peyton is Courtney’s cousin, and so Courtney and Jordan do make appearances throughout the book, yay!"

Real rating: 3.5 Stars

So, I’ll put this out there: I haven’t read Two-Way Street yet. I KNOW. I’m horrible. How can I claim to love contemporary road trip novels and not have read that?! I know, I know. I’m getting there.

I will say that if you haven’t read Two Way Street and DON’T want to be spoiled, DO NOT read Right of Way. It’s there. They appear. And while I don’t think it’s any surprise, if you can’t stand any sort of hint/cl...more

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! It was so good. I literally started it yesterday (1/25/13) and finished it today!! Gosh, it was so good, but of course, I knew it would be! I'm never disappointed by her books!

Right of Way is a companion novel to Lauren's book TWO WAY STREET, and it's about Jace and Peyton, who had a fling over Christmas break, and then suddenly one of them stopped responding to the other one's texts, calls, emails, ect.

Then a few months later, Peyton and Jace are forced back...more

ARC giveaway and full review at http:// fireandicephoto.blogspot.com

What I liked about Right of Way:

1) The characters were well written and full of personality. I related more to Jace than I did Peyton, the female protagonist just because at times she came across as self centered and bratty. Jace was pretty mature in the way he handled the whole situation

2) I love road trip books. This one reminded me a lot of You Are Here by Jennifer E Smith and Back When You Were Easier to Love by Emily Wing S...more

I received this ARC from edelweiss, thank you!

Overall this book was enjoyable. It was a nice, light read. I liked the way it was written (very intense!) and I even didn't mind the alternating POV (I HATE alternating POVs but this was really well done). Both Peyton and Jace had clear voices and I was able to tell who was who every time. I also like how sometimes there were flashbacks and other times we got to see the same scene from each person's side.

At the start of the book there are multiple...more

Another wonderful book from Ms. Barnholdt! Right of Way was another sweet, light, lovely YA that kept me laughing and smiling.

Before I start, for fans of Two-Way Street, we do see small cameos of Jordan and Courtney. It was very fun to see them as a couple from another person's eyes and see that they are still going strong after the events of Two-Way Street.

Peyton was a difficult character to figure out. At first, she...more

Right of Way introduces us to the story of Jace and Peyton. This is a companion novel to Lauren Barnholdt's book Two Way Street, which I did not read, and it wasn't necessary to know what was going on in this story, but it will give you some information on some of their backstory as well as introduce you to some of the other characters mentioned in this book.

I really enjoyed their story! We first meet Peyton hiding in the bushes of a resort talking to her friend and panicking because her plans f...more

Right of way is a very easy, light-hearted book. Jace and Peyton tried having a long distance relationship after meeting once at a Christmas party, but it didn't work out. Now, they must see each other again, at a wedding, where the two are reunited once more, and secrets are unveiled.

It's really different in which Barnholdt uses writes from the views of both protagonists (like how Van Draanen wrote Flipped). Not only did she write in two perspectives, Barnholdt splits her chapters by before a...more

I don't really have much to say about this book. I only read it about a week ago and it's already very vague on my mind, because it's completely forgettable. This is because it really wasn't anything new or groundbreaking, the typical story of a rich white couple , if not worse than the usual cliche.

I was extremely annoyed by the characters. They were so flat, utterly stupid and whiny that they made the story very unbelievable. I would have liked to see some kind of depth from them, anything, bu...more

3.5/5 stars

**I literally just finished this book seconds ago and these are my initial thoughts. I might have more later on.**

For the first third of the book, it was very much like Two-Way Street but with different character names. But after that Jace and Peyton came into their own. I like Jace and Peyton apart and together. Like in TWS, Barnholdt did alternate first person POV between Jace and Peyton and then switching off to the present time and the past. I thought Barnholdt did a good job with...more

Oh my gosh! I was so excited when I got the ARC of Right of Way in the mail. I mentioned in my review of 'How My Summer Went Up In Flames' how much I love road trip books and after reading this that hasn't changed. I wasn't excited about this just because it was a road trip book. This is the companion novel to Two Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt and that is one of my favorite road trip books. Also after I read Two Way Street I checked out a couple of other books by Lauren Barnholdt and I like how...more
Damaris (GoodChoiceReading)
Right of Way is a really good story, has great characters that you can easily connect with, but it felt unfinished to me. The entire story you're getting to know Peyton and Jace, and what exactly went down between the two, but once you figure it all out you can't help but think really? That's it? Then I expected for the story to climax and for things to really start happening, but that never came.

In the entire book there is so much sexual tension between the two, tons of mystery and once everyt...more

Another summer read on my pile, beautiful and moving, this story is great!
1. Realistic. The realism of family problems and dealing with your parents who are the ones who have the problem is the best part. Most teens have to carry such a large load that is not meant for them to carry. I loved how well this part of the story is told to the reader. Piece by piece, uncovering every dark secret.
2. Love. In the midst of the craziness, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Love and friendship. And...more

This was an odd book because there were quite a few things about it that really annoyed me but I still found myself enjoying it.

There were some great things about it. The writing was really good and the story flowed nicely. The POV swaps between the two main characters (Peyton and Jace) and also switches between the present and the past. Barnholdt handles this really well and I wasn’t once confused. The story was entertaining and well structured; it was a fast read that never bored me.

One of th...more

I really enjoyed this book from the first page. We meet protagonist Peyton sitting in some bushes, having a massive panic because her plans for the whole summer have just been messed up. She’s stuck in Florida after going to a wedding, her parents have flown home already and she is all on her own. Peyton and her best friend were supposed to be running away to North Carolina but her best friend’s mum found out and pretty much has her on house arrest. Now, Peyton is stuck in Florida with very litt...more

I don't know about you but I love road trip books! There is something about self discovery and finding love on a road trip that has me intrigued by these books. Right Of Way is a great summer read. As I was reading it I could see the hot Florida weather and the descriptions of Georgia are so vivid it will have you wanting to go to Georgia just to see everything Lauren has described.

Right Of Way is told in a two person POV, Peyton who is in Connecticut making her way to Florida with her mother t...more

My Thoughts: When I saw Barnholdt had another book coming out, I jumped for joy. I love her books! Seriously adore them!

Right Of Way is the story of Peyton and Jace. Peyton is Courtney’s cousin. And, yes this is another one about a road trip. But there was so much more than that in this story.

Jace and Peyton were falling in love with each other. They had a long distance relationship but they really liked each other. Until Jace stopped calling Peyton. Stopped talking to her period. And she never...more
I Eat Words
My top 5 reasons why I loved RIGHT OF WAY:
5. The tension and undeniable chemistry between both main characters.
4. Family problems--specifically with Peyton's mother--that seemed real and unique.
3. The pacing leaves you wanting to devour more pages so you can understand what happened between Jace and Peyton.
2. The fact that both main characters are dealing with flaws of their own.
1. Road. Trip. Book. Need I say more?

"And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun"

Is this the long awaited sequel to Two Way Street? Cause although it's different characters, it sounds like a similar premise. That would be awesome, that is such a good book! Love me some LB!

Very Two Way Street-ish.

I'm curious to see how she is going to approach this story differently, though

My heart broke a litle everytime..I was still not totally resolved with the ending though, but it was good enough,lol. But I really liked the writing format. So lauren barnholdt. She has this signature style of wriing, which I lovevand absolutely fits well to the stories she writes.

Full review to come.

I don't know what the appeal of travel books is...but I'm in love with them. Definitely reading this.

Update: Just finished this one and even though it was nothing like I thought it would be, I really liked it. Official review forthcoming.

3.5 stars!

Just as good as the first book in the companion series!! It was actually very similar in the way that the characters interacted and how they went on a roadtrip!

Review will be up closer to the release date.
