Beth O'Leary delivers another stunning, emotional romance with this incredible story of second chances and growth. There were some truly dark moments here — Marcus's entire character was very difficult to handle, often — alongside the traditional lighthearted moments of road trip arcs. I found myself flying through this one, which I think was due to the structure: short chapters and well-timed flashbacks. The entire journey was well-written and well-earned. This is certainly a book which will stay with me for a while.
