Starting, I expected much more from this book, I went to it because of the book tube hype and expected this adventurous book that would suck me right into it and I'll relate to the main character.

But no, it wasn't the rainbow and unicorns. Emily, the female protagonist, was absolutely annoying, so talkative, I had struggled reading a bunch whole of her non sense rambling.

This book was a good read, but unfortunately it wasn't as great as I was expecting it to be. Matson's writing was fantastic as always, but this book may have been a little over hyped for me.
There were a few characters that I didn't particularly like (Sloane, Collins and Lissa) and I also felt that the plot of this book just wasn't as enjoyable as her other books (Second Chance Summer in particular, which I absolutely loved). ...more

4/5 stars.
I prefer Amy and Roger's Epic Detour but Matson can write a perfect contemporary. Only thing is didn't ship the main couple a great deal until right at the end. ...more
