And Then We Ran by Katy Cannon

4.0

In her newest novel, Katy Cannon tells the story of Megan and Elliot, two teenagers who aren`t in love but decide to elope to Gretna Green together so that they can move to London and follow their dreams. I really liked both characters, and their friendship/slow burn romance. I did find their narrative voices slightly hard to distinguish between but it wasn`t an issue as it was clearly shown when it was changing and Katy Cannon`s writing style strikes the most amazing balance of being realistically teenage and gorgeous prose. Another thing I completely adored about this book was that mixed media was used to give insight into the relationship of Megan`s friend Becca and Elliot`s brother Sean, which was so unique and a brilliant narrative device. I was slightly disappointed that the road trip wasn`t as huge a feature as I`d been expecting, but I wasn`t too upset as the one I did get was really cute and funny, and I also enjoyed the happy but unexpected ending
