Amy is dealing with her father’s death and Roger has problems of his own. The book follows them on a road trip to Connecticut.<\/p>\n
This is the first time I read a road-trip book and it was this aspect that drew me to this it.<\/p>\n
The trip is the root of the book. It is the main thing that made me like it so much. I really liked the playlists, notes and pictures in the book along with the descriptions of the food and hotels. I usually don’t like these things in books but they made the road trip feel more real. I felt like I was on the trip too and it reminded me of how much fun road trips can be.<\/p>\n
Amy and Roger were pretty normal people, nothing remarkable about them. I liked how \u00a0Amy developed throughout the trip and dealt\u00a0with her father’s death. The connection she had with her father was beautiful. I liked how Amy stood up to her mother but at the same time felt guilty and made sure she wasn’t worried about her.<\/p>\n
I liked that the romance wasn’t the main focus of the book. I didn’t see much chemistry between Amy and Roger and I felt they would have been more suited for just a strong friendly bond . I also wish there had been some more insight on Roger.<\/p>\n
The various people they meet throughout the trip made the book more interesting. This is an excellent contemporary book and I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
Also, the name of the book completely fits- It was a detour & it was epic \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
