Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

3.0

I had a hard time writing a decent review for this book as I had a busy weekend then weekday job started rolling so maybe I'll try to butcher something with the best I can give.

This book is a light read, I am definitely going to write that because it really is. I love the idea of reading a book about road trip and finding your identity through personal hardship which, in this case, is grief and heartbreak. Though the book presented a lot of backstories for the main characters Amy and Roger, Morgan Matson made sure that all of it will just flavor up the human appeal in each of our MCs.

Another thing I love is that though it is a contemporary read, the storyline never lacked of adventure feels. Amy and Roger's epic detour from California to most American states is truly an enjoyable ride that appeals to the wandeelust in me.

However, I had a hard time placing my judgment for the entirety of the storyline. I must admit that 2012 me may enjoy this book and gave it a five star but living in this golden age of literature and having finished a lot of great reads, I must say that though this book is greatly enjoyable this is not something I will clearly put in my top 5 list. But still, Amy and Roger both have a special place in my bookish heart and for that, Ciao.
