A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST FICTIONAL VOICES OF 2024 PICK
A semi-famous artist turns forty-five and gives herself a gift – a cross-country road trip from LA to New York, without her husband and child. But thirty minutes after setting off, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel – and embarks on the journey of a lifetime.
Customer Reviews
Readable and interesting, but ultimately forgettable
Clearly a book not meant for me. Thats ok though as I love the different perspectives that you gain from literature. It can explain and educate, and widen your experience. There were brief glimpses of that occurring for me, but not enough to really bring me in. I didn’t care enough about the main character. In a first person narrative, you need to care.
Terrible
Terrible main character. Unlikeable. Wanted to give her a good shake. Silly storyline. Not worth any of the awards it got.
Weird Read
Odd read, gave up on it
